An ongoing series of biennial international conferences for top quality research in cognitive science and intelligent systems for educational computing applications. The conference thus provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of information and ideas from researchers in the many fields that make up this interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial intelligence, other areas of computer science, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been designed and built.

TOPICS (preliminary): Socially informed design; Collaborative and group learning; Learning systems platforms and architectures; Modeling and representation; Methods, tools and techniques for effective evaluation of cognitive, meta-cognitive and affective issues; The design and modelling of learning contexts and their impact on learning; Interaction design and novel interfaces; Intelligent tutoring and scaffolding, Special application fields.
