Subject: Kick-Off Message
Hi! At long last the first issue is being sent out! I have enough
in hand for a few more issues, but will soon need additional
materials. Please contribute freely so this will be a success!
There are now 128 addresses in the distribution list, some of which
are redistribution lists to groups of people, so if everyone contributes
at least every few months, IRList should come out >= once/week.
As time goes on I hope to add in features so people with text
editor type mail interfaces can find interesting parts more quickly.
That is something that many of you may have suggestions, so please
share your ideas.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Research in the development of Intelligent Tutoring Systems has been growing
over the past few years. To bring together the best work in one volume, we are
organizing a special issue of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence. All
submissions will be stringently reviewed and selected for publication according
to the usual standards of the Journal. Topics appropriate for this special
issue include:
- Knowledge representations tailored for use in an Intelligent Tutoring
System (ITS)
- Architectures for ITSs
- Methods for building student models
- Methods for diagnosing students' bugs and misconceptions
- Tutoring strategies
- The use of natural language
- Design of the human-computer interface
- Case studies of ITSs
- Psychological research relevant to the construction of ITSs
Guest editors for this special issue are:
Dr. Elliot Soloway Dr. William J. Clancey
Dept. of Computer Science Stanford Knowledge Systems Laboratory
Yale University 701 Welch Road, Building C
P.O. Box 2158 Palo Alto, CA 94304

Ed,
I'm glad to hear about IRList. I work with several
people on "Building Classification Structures for Biomedical
Literature" and have forwarded your note to them and some others.
Congratulations.

yes. please include me on irlist. i've also forwarded it to steve gano
here at hplabs, and to robert crickman@umn who just contacted me with
regard to the encyclopedia article.
are you aware of the linkers distribution list related to online info
access, run by Kirk Kelley?
[Could anyone knowledgeable about 'linkers' let us all know what it
is about and how it operates? Thanks, Ed]

Although the date for the talk below has passed and you may have seen this
in several other digests, I thought it of interest to pass on.
Here is a pointer to a recent paper discussing this work.

INTERACTIVE SIMULATIONS FOR AN ELECTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Alan Borning
Computer Science Department
University of Washington
In the first part of this seminar, I'll describe work on a prototype
electronic encyclopedia. The prototype makes use of the text from an
existing print encyclopedia, and employs a window-oriented browser on a
Symbolics 3600 computer. Selected articles in the prototype also include
some features that take advantage of the new medium, including interactive
simulations, links to a picture library stored on a videodisk, and active
text for browsing cross references, expanding abbreviations, and converting
from one measurement system to another.
The construction of a comprehensive electronic encyclopedia that takes
full advantage of the computer medium will be an enormous task, and will
require good computer-based tools to support the encyclopedia's authors.
The second part of the seminar will concern research on one such tool: a
kit for constructing interactive simulations. Using this kit, authors can
construct simulations of such things as manipulable diagrams illustrating
geometric theorems or simulations of physics experiments. The kit, an
extension of the ThingLab system, uses constraints to specify the relations
between parts of the simulations, and provides convenient graphical tools for
assembling and manipulating simulations.
As part of the talk two videoptapes will be shown: first, a brief demo of
the prototype electronic encyclopedia, and second, a demo of ThingLab,
including recent enhancements.
