Organized within the framework of the 11th International Conference on
Agent and Multi-Agent Systems: Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA-17)

21-23 June 2017

SCOPE & TOPICS

During the last decade, agent technologies were proposed to enhance
e-learning systems across at least two dimensions:
(i) agents as a modeling and design paradigm for advanced human-computer
interaction and
(ii) agents for smart functional decomposition of complex systems.

We do believe that e-learning and software agents are orthogonal
technologies and their integration is beneficial
for designing better e-learning systems.

Submissions are expected from, but not limited to the following topics:

- Modeling and application in educational domains of various types of
adaptation and personalization.
- Personal agents that support users during their activities of
educational processes.
- Specialized task agents for harvesting and composition of e-learning
resources according to the teaching, as well as learning needs.
- Middle-agents, brokers and recommenders as mediation between the user
preferences and resource capabilities, according to different criteria 
(the knowledge level of the student or the educational domain of
the course).
- Pedagogical, emotional and affective agents and their influence on
e-learning processes.
- Machine learning and data mining in e-learning systems: advanced
facilities like understanding students behavior, learning user preferences, 
or semantic matching between student profiles and educational resources.
- Collaboration and student teamwork in e-learning.
- Agent-based educational project management.
- Agent-based e-learning platforms and systems.

PAPER SUBMISSION

* Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific
merit and relevance to the conference.
* The papers will be scheduled for presentation either orally or by
poster, depending on their attributes,
author preferences and referee recommendations. Please note that poster
presentations are regarded as being of equal importance to oral presentations.
* The required paper length is 7 to 10 pages in publisher format. Papers
longer than this may be subject to an additional charge. Papers much longer or shorter than the required
length may be rejected, at the decision of the organisers.
