CATE 2007 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conference on: Asian Modelling and Simulation (AsiaMS 2007) Communication Systems, Networks, and Applications (CSNA 2007) Location Picture above Great Wall ? by Grace Yang Banner pictures from left to right Tower Of The Fregrance Of Budd ? by Alexander Rist Sunset over Beijing ? by sekure blah Ornament In The Forbidden City ? by Albert Bleeker Chinese Gate ? by Alexander Rist Beijing China 1 ? by Bill Brad Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China, a modern metropolis with the charm of the ancient East, is the nation's political and cultural center. The metropolis is home to more than 13 million permanent and visiting residents. The city offers visitors a moderate, continental climate. The city itself is both ancient and modern. Beijing has existed as a city for more than 3,000 years. Home to six UNESCO recognised world heritage sites, visitors may take in the historic beauty of attractions such as The Forbidden City, The Great Wall of China, and the Peking Man site at Zhoukoudian. Looking to the future, Beijing is set to host the twenty ninth Summer Olympics in August of 2008. Not to miss destinations and features include the Beijing Opera, the city's numerous cloisonn?? factories, and the famous Hutongs, which means "small lanes." Shopping in Beijing offers the visitor a real adventure. The city boasts a number of shopping districts including the Panjiayuan Curio & Antique Market and Liulichang Street. Shoppers are encouraged to bargain for what they want. Some even claim that haggling is the best part of a shopping trip. Boasting a wealthy and lengthy heritage unmatched in the world, Beijing nonetheless continues to modernise and is set to become one of the leading capitals of the twenty first century.

An effective way of discovering new knowledge from large and complex data sets is data mining. As such, the EDM workshop invites papers that study how to apply data mining to analyze data generated by learning systems or experiments, as well as how discovered information can be used to improve adaptation and personalization. Interesting problems data mining can help to solve are: determining what are common types of learning behavior (e.g. in online systems), predicting the knowledge and interests of a user based on past behavior, partitioning a heterogeneous group of users into homogeneous clusters, etc. Typically, educational data sources are quite heterogeneous (e.g., web log files, interaction logs, source code, text and dialogue data, etc.), and have a variety of different scales, grain-sizes, and spatial and temporal resolution. Though the many types of educational data often differ considerably from one another, they provide multiple types of insight on a single domain or context and, above all, share the potential to reveal unexpected and useful knowledge concerning learners and/or the process of learning - if correctly and coherently analyzed. Applying methods to mine the complex data that we can collect on educational situations requires the development of new approaches that build upon techniques from a combination of areas, including statistics, psychometrics, machine learning, and scientific computing. The EDM workshop at ICALT'07 aims at providing a focused international forum for researchers to present, discuss and explore the state of the art of mining educational data and evaluating usefulness of discovered patterns for adaptation and personalization, as well as to outline promising future research directions. The EDM workshop invites submissions addressing all aspects of educational data mining with applications for adaptation and personalization in e-learning systems. The topics of special interest include, but are not restricted to: * Methods and approached for EDM * Characteristics of educational data and how to deal with them * Learning browsing behavior; e.g., searching for patterns in log-data * Data mining for predicting user (potentially changing) interests * Mining differences in user's learning behavior (e.g. between two systems) * Mining data from A/B tests * Application of discovered patterns for personalization and adaptation * Description of applications * Case studies and experiences The workshop invites papers reporting experiences, case studies, surveys, reflections and comparisons. The submission format is: either a full paper of up to 10 pages, a short paper of up to 5 pages, or an abstract of up to 3 pages for a poster. * IMPORTANT DATES * March 14 (Extended), 2007 Submission of paper (IEEE 2-column, 10-pages maximum) March 30, 2007 Notification of acceptance April 6, 2007 Final 2-pages summary for publication in main ICALT proceedings camera-ready due April 16, 2007 Author registration deadline July 18-20, 2007 ICALT Conference * SUBMISSION PROCEDURES * Please submit your contribution (up to 10 pages) before the extended submission deadline (March 14, 2007) to the EDM workshop chairs by e-mail: edm.icalt07 at gmail.com. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the workshop programme committee members. All accepted workshop papers will be published in the online workshop proceedings edited by the general workshop chairs. Beside this a short version of each accepted paper (2 pages long, IEEE 2-column format) will be published in the main IEEE proceedings. * TRACK CHAIRS * Joseph E.

This creation of Kaleidoscope, conformant with the Open Archive Initiative, is now registered on the OAI organization (http://www.openarchives.org/) as a data provider. It means that if will now be harnessed by any search engine and will be a contribution to whatever index you are interested in. I remind you that you can upload there either a pdf version of your publications (Sophie, here cced can help you to clarify the copyright issue), or the bibliographical description of your publications with our without a link to a place where it may available (for example the publisher site) To use the service of TeLearn, you should register your research unit or verify that it is already the case, if you experience any difficulty, please contact us (Lucile here cced can help you in this process). Moreover, we could create a G1:1 collection in order to identify our contribution to the field, this is easy to do and quite efficient. Then we can provide you with the lines of codes to automatically include this series in your web page, or any series you would be interested in. TeLearn is the first fully international, multilingual and multidisciplinary open archive, to support it is to support the dissemination of your work.

The Workshop Committee of ICCE2007 invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with and one or two days before the main conference. The purpose of these workshops is to provide participants with an informal setting to discuss technical issues, to exchange research ideas, and to share practical experiences on some focused topics or emerging sub-areas in computers in education. Workshops can be (a) in the form of mini-conferences with paper presentations or (b) discussion-oriented involving perhaps collaborative work. All papers accepted by mini-conference type workshops will appear in one volume of workshop proceedings with ISBN. Published workshop papers will be made available on the official ICCC2007 website after the conference. Researchers and practitioners from all areas on computers in education are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops are expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final programme content. Proposals for workshops should be at most four pages in length and should contain: - Title of the workshop - Style of workshop (i.e. mini-conference or discussion style) - A brief description of the workshop topic - The reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time - A draft workshop Call for Papers - Short biographies of the workshop organizers - A list of prospective members of the workshop programmme committee - The expected number of attendees and the planned length of the workshop (i.e., 1/2 day or full day) IMPORTANT DATES - April 27, 2007: Submission deadline for proposals - May 28, 2007: Acceptance notification of proposals - June 15, 2007: Final version deadline for proposals - July 20, 2007: Submission deadline for workshop paper - August 24, 2007: Acceptance notification of workshop paper - September 9, 2007: Final version deadline for workshop paper Please send your proposal to icce07ws at cse.cuhk.edu.hk To make it easy to find your proposal, please use the following "To:" and "Subject:" in your email.
