ITS-92 ------ International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems Montreal, June 10-12, 1992 Preliminary Announcement ------------------------ Aims of the conference: The International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems in 1992 will focus on a broad spectrum of research concerned with how artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies can be applied to education and training. The conference will be concerned both with the current state of the art as well as serving as a reference basis for future research directions. ITS-92 will be supported by a strong international program committee that will ensure full refereeing of all submitted papers. As in ITS-88, a large number of well known speakers will be invited to discuss current and future research directions. There will also be provocative panels on "hot topics" in the field, and there will be demonstrations and exhibits of prototypes, research projects and products from universities and industries. The conference will be preceded (June 8-9) by two tutorial days. Topics of interest for paper submissions will include, but will not be limited, to the following: architectures for ITS, student modelling, teaching and learning strategies, cognitive models, discovery environments, software tools for tutoring, knowledge representation in ITS, neural models applied to ITS, design issues, empirical studies, practical issues in ITS, real world applications, alternatives to one-on-one tutoring, evaluation and testing of ITS, helping and advising systems, collaborative learning, situated learning, negotiated tutoring. ________________________________ Conference Chairman: Claude Frasson, University of Montreal Program Committee Chairman: Gordon McCalla, University of Saskatchewan Organization Committee Chairman: Gilles Gauthier, Universite du Quebec Publicity Committee Chairman: Bernard Lefebvre, University of Montreal An official call for papers with details for submission will appear soon.
