Sottilare, Robert

Call for Papers
Second Annual User Symposium for the Generalized Intelligent Framework for 
Tutoring (GIFT): GIFTSym2

Recommendations for Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) Design Standards

June 12-13th, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

Scope and Topics of Interest:
The aim of this symposium is to bring together members of the Intelligent 
Tutoring Systems community for an in-depth exploration to pursue tools, 
methods, and standards for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) as part of the 
Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) research project 
sponsored by the US Army Research Laboratory.  GIFT is a free, modular, 
service-oriented architecture whose goal is to make automated authoring, 
automated instruction, and effect analysis easy and cost-effective.  GIFT has 
three primary objectives:

(1)provide an automated authoring capability to develop new ITSs and their 
components (e.g., learner models, pedagogical models, user interfaces, sensor 
interfaces), and standards to support the reuse of existing ITS components and 
leverage external training environments (e.g., serious games);

(2)provide an automated instructional capability based upon best tutoring 
principles, strategies, and tactics for use in ITSs;

(3)enable experimentation to analyze the effectiveness and impact of ITS 
components, tools, and methods.

More information about GIFT can be found on 
www.gifttutoring.org<http://www.gifttutoring.org/>.

The program committee invites GIFT practitioners to submit papers highlighting 
their use of GIFT and recommendations for design enhancements in the following 
areas: automated authoring, automated instructional management, and effect 
analysis of learning outcomes.

Formatting instructions:
Please ensure that your papers are formatted correctly and are within the 
10-page limit. Abstracts should be 500 words or less.  Go to the Information

download word.zip, when using LaTex, download lncs.zip, and so forth. Note that 
most but not all of these downloads are listed at the top right (notable 
exception: LNCS-Office2007.zip is listed further down). You may ascertain which 
file to download for use with your preferred word processor by clicking on the 
relevant "Proceedings and Other Multi-author Volumes ..... " link. For Word 
2007 this actually gets you to the download link. Unzip the file and study the 
instructions.

Submission instructions:
Paper submissions should be 10 pages maximum in Springer LNCS format and 
submitted through Easy Chair at: 
*https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=giftsym2*.  Only submissions in 
.doc (Word) format will be accepted.  All submissions should be in English.
