Third International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Syst=
ems
Montr=E9al, June 12-14 1996
Sponsored by
AFCET, Universit=E9 de Montr=E9al, UQAM
In cooperation with
ACM, SIGART, SIGCUE
The International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems in 1996 will
focus on a broad spectrum of research concerned with how artificial
intelligence and other advanced technologies can be applied to education
and training. The conference will be concerned both with the current state
of the art as well as serving as a reference basis for future research
directions. ITS-96 will be supported by a strong international program
committee that will ensure full refereeing of all submitted papers. There
will be provocative panels on "hot topics" in the field, demonstrations and
exhibits of prototypes, research projects or products from universities and
industries.
