                     -------------------
                     TECHNICAL PROGRAMME
                     -------------------

Papers
------
Papers should describe original and unpublished results of research
work.  All presented papers will be considered by the Programme
Committee for Best Paper Awards in several categories.  Awarded papers
will be invited for publication in the Journal of Artificial
Intelligence in Education, the official journal of the AI-ED Society.
Papers must be received by 12th Dec. 1992.

Submissions: Submissions should be no longer than 8 pages (21.5 cm x
28 cm, 8.5 x 11 inches), single-spaced, including tables, figures, and
references, with at least 1 inch margins all around and no smaller
than 10 point font (12 point pica for typewriters), excluding cover
sheet.

Each submission must include 1 cover page and 6 copies of the complete
manuscript.  The cover page should include: the title of the paper
with an abstract of no more than 500 words; keywords giving a clear
indication of topic and subtopic; author names with affiliations,
addresses, and phone numbers; and the E-mail address of the principal
author.  Electronic and fax submissions will not be accepted.

Posters
-------
Authors are encouraged to submit reports on work in progress to the
poster sessions, which provide an informal forum for introducing work
in its early stages.  Poster sessions enable researchers to discuss
their latest results in order to gain feedback and to establish
contact with similar projects. Poster sessions do not involve a formal
presentation.

Submissions: Poster proposals should include an approximately 3-page
written description of the planned poster and should emphasize the
problem; what was done; and why the work is important. The cover page
should include the title of the session with presenter names,
affiliations, complete addresses, phone numbers, and E-mail address of
the principal presenter.

Panels
------
A panel offers an opportunity for 3-5 people to present their views or
results on a common theme, issue, or question. Panels should cover
timely topics related to the conference areas of interest. Panel
selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus, and
timeliness of the topic, as well as the potential for informative (and
even controversial) discussion.  Panels should have no more than 5
members, including the chair.

Submissions: Panel proposals should include:
- A description of the panel topic, including why this topic is
  important to the AI-ED Conference attendees; no more than 1 page.
- A brief position statement of each panelist; no more than 1 page
  each.

A cover sheet should include the panel title, panelists' names and
affiliations, and the panel organizer's name, affiliation, address, E-
mail address and phone number.

Tutorials and Workshops
-----------------------
Tutorials are offered on basic and advanced topics.  Tutorials are
intended to provide an overview of a field; they should be based on
generally accepted and balanced information.  Workshops provide
participants the opportunity to meet and discuss selected technical
topics in an informal atmosphere which encourages the active exchange
of ideas among researchers and practitioners.  Tutorials/Workshops are
usually a half day in length.

Submissions: Proposals should include a clear description of the
tutorial/workshop objectives, the intended audience, the length in
hours, a 200-word abstract, a 1-page topical outline of the content,
and a description of the proposer's qualifications related to the
tutorial/workshop topic.

               EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND AT FESTIVAL TIME!
               -------------------------------------

AI-ED 93 will be held in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and a city
renowned for its unique history, heritage, architectural grandeur and
cultural vibrance.  Edinburgh is also the gateway to the breathtaking
beauty of Scotland beyond.

The dates of the AI-ED 93 Conference fall during the world's largest
arts event comprised of several festivals--the Edinburgh International
Festival, a film festival, jazz festival, and fringe festival.

So taking a holiday before (or after) the conference offers a very
attractive opportunity to enjoy these festivals, Edinburgh, and the
Scottish countryside.  Be sure to register early for the conference
because accommodation will be at a premium.
