	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.
