The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education is part
of an ongoing series of biennial international conferences for top quality
research in intelligent systems and cognitive science for educational
computing applications. The conference provides opportunities for the
cross-fertilization of techniques from many fields that make up this
interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial intelligence,
computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, educational
technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics,
and the many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been designed
and evaluated.



AIED 2009 will focus on the theme "Building Learning Systems that Care: From
Knowledge Representation to Affective Modeling". This extends an AIED vision
proposed some 20 years ago by John Self. The field has moved a long way
since then. It is now widely accepted that effective learning environments
are expected to care about both learners and tutors, and to have a good
understanding of the variety of learning contexts. The key research question
now is how to tackle the complex issues related to building learning systems
that care, ranging from representing knowledge and context to modeling
social, cognitive, metacognitive, and affective dimensions. This requires
linking theory and technology from artificial intelligence, cognitive
science, and computer science with theory and practice from education and
social science.



Invited speakers are:



* Prof. Susanne P. Lajoie, McGill University, Canada

* Prof. Kenneth D. Forbus, Northwestern University, USA

* Prof. Wolfgang Nejdl, Distributed Systems Institute, Hannover, Germany
