                    CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
   THE WORLD CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION (AI-ED 93)

The Program Committee of the World Conference of Artificial
Intelligence in Education (AI-ED 93) invites proposals for the
Workshop Program of the conference.  The conference is being held in
Edinburgh, Scotland, 23rd-27th August 1993.  Individual workshops
may be either a full day in duration or a half day in duration.
Half-day workshops will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday,
25th August; full-day workshops will be held on Friday, 27th August.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss
issues with a selected focus - providing an informal setting for
active interchange among researchers, developers, and users on topics
of interest.  Members of all segments of the AI in Education
community are encouraged to submit proposals.

   Proposal Content

Proposals for workshops should be about 2 pages in length, and should
contain:

  - A clear description of the workshop objectives, and the intended
    audience.

  - An outline of the specific issues on which the workshop will
    focus.

  - A brief discussions of why the workshop is of particular interest
    at this time.

  - The names and addresses of the workshop chair and organizing
    committee.  The organizing committee, including the workshop
    chair, should consist of 3 to 4 people knowledgeable in the field.
    Strong proposals include organizers who bring differing perspectives
    to the workshop topic.

  - An indication of whether you prefer a full-day format or the
    half-day format.

    Administrative Details

The workshop organizing committees will be responsible for soliciting
position papers from prospective participants, and selecting
participants.  AI-ED will provide logistic support and meeting places
for the workshops, handle registration, and 
print working notes.  People registered for the  AI-ED 93 conference
will be able to register for the workshops for free; others will
be charged a registration fee to attend the workshops.

Workshop organizers are expected to prepare a workshop summary for
publication in the AI-ED Newsletter and in newsletters of other
organizations supporting the AI-ED 93 conference.

Organizing committees are expected to cooperate with the AI-ED
program to meet scheduling deadlines.  If the organizers miss
deadlines set by the AI-ED Workshop Chair, AI-ED reserves the
right to cancel the workshop.

                     CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
   THE WORLD CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION (AI-ED 93)

The Program Committee of the World Conference of Artificial
Intelligence in Education (AI-ED 93) invites proposals for the
Tutorial Program of the conference.  The conference is being held in
Edinburgh, Scotland, 23rd-27th August 1993.  Tutorials will be
one-half day in duration, and will be held on Wednesday, 25th August.

We are interested in proposals covering either beginning or more
advanced areas.  Topics amenable to immediate practical applications
or usage are especially welcome.

                          Submission Requirements

We need two kinds of information in proposals: information that
will be used for selecting proposals and information that will
appear in the tutorial description brochure.  So each proposal should
contain the following:
  - Goal of the tutorial;
  - Detailed outline, possibly augmented with sample materials;
  - Tutorial description: a short paragraph summarizing the tutorial
    outline;
  - Prerequisite knowledge: what knowledge is assumed.

Please also submit the following information about the 
presenters:
-   Name, mailing address, phone number, email address;
-   Background in the tutorial area, including a list of 
publications;
-   Any available examples of work in the area (ideally, a 
published tutorial-level article on the subject);
-   Evidence of teaching experience (courses taught or 
references);
-   Evidence of scholarship in artificial intelligence in
    education

Each tutorial may be offered by an individual, or by a team
of presenters.

Those submitting a proposal should keep in mind that 
tutorials are intended to provide an overview of a field 
or practical training in an area; they should present 
reasonably well agreed upon information in a balanced 
way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single 
avenue of research, nor should they promote a product.
Tutorial presenters and attendees should both plan to
register for the conference.

Submission Deadline

Proposals must be received by December 12, 1992.

Decisions about the tutorial program will be made by 
January 8, 1992.

Speakers should be prepared to submit completed course 
materials by July 1, 1993.

Electronic submissions are encouraged.  Please
address questions regarding submissions to the Tutorial Chair:
