|>                      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 Papers should describe original and unpublished results of research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.

|>                -------------------------------------
|> 
|> 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.
