A form for registration is given below.

General Information
-------------------
You are cordially invited to participate in EuroAIED (the European
Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education), to be held in
Lisbon from September 30th to October 2nd 1996.  About sixty papers
will be presented and discussed in a workshop-like atmosphere
within the stimulating environment of the world-famous Gulbenkian
Centre.
EuroAIED is intended to provide an opportunity for researchers to
develop principles for the design of systems to support learning.
The "principles" may be derived from artificial intelligence,
cognitive science, human-computer interaction, and related fields;
the "systems" include tutoring systems, learning environments,
simulations, multimedia systems, WWW-based systems, etc.; and
"learning" includes learning by schoolchildren, university students
and industrial trainees.

EuroAIED will be organised as a set of 'working sessions',
enveloped within opening and closing addresses given by Joost Breuker
(University of Amsterdam) and Ben du Boulay (University of Sussex),
respectively.  The usual format of a working session will be: some short
presentations of submitted papers addressing a set of pre-specified
questions, followed by a general discussion, and then (in a plenary
session) a synthesis presentation of the conclusions of the working
session.

The working session topics are:
        Instructional planning     Cognitive science
        Simulation-based learning  Machine learning
        Virtual reality            Virtual learning environments
        Educational multimedia     Student modelling
        Natural language           Qualitative reasoning
        Distributed cognition      Motivation
        Authoring systems          External representations
        Collaborative learning     Self-explanation

Lisbon itself provides an attractive environment for informal
discussions
and an excellent base for a holiday break before or after the
conference.
According to the guidebooks "Lisbon is a luminous, soft-hued city,
cooled by sea breezes where the River Tagus, peeping between rooftops,
is visible from almost all the historic places of interest and the
old gardens straggling the seven hills on which the city was
originally built."  Lisbon became capital of Portugal in 1255 and
was the starting point for the discoveries of Portuguese navigators
in the 15th to 17th centuries, which changed the city into an
international trading centre for merchandize from the newly discovered
lands.  This heritage is reflected in the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian,
which is the great museum of Portugal.  It is housed in
a superb complex, set in its own park, and its extraordinary collections
seem to take in virtually every great phase of Eastern and Western
art.  Lisbon has excellent beaches nearby (and well-known holiday
areas not far away) and the surrounding countryside is unexpectedly
rural, with quiet farming villages and fishing ports.

Travel and Accommodation
------------------------

Lisbon airport is just twenty minutes from the centre of Lisbon and less
from the hotels mentioned below.  You will find that airfares are
considerably less if you include a Saturday night stay (EuroAIED is
Monday
to Wednesday).  For details of the special airfare deal please consult
the WWW page.

Participants are entirely responsible for making their own accommodation
arrangements.  We reserved rooms at the Ibis Hotel and Novotel within a
few minutes walk of the conference centre.  Although these reservations
have now lapsed we understand that there are still rooms available
there.
These hotels are close to the Palhava metro station, which is convenient
for getting into the centre of Lisbon.  The Lisbon information (from our
