Abstract
This workshop proceedings discusses the use Model Based Systems
(MBS) and Qualitative Reasoning (QR) for Intelligent Tutoring
Systems (ITS). The importance of MBS/QR for tutoring and
training systems has been pointed out by many researchers in the
area of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED). They
agree on the necessity for rich, articulate and indexed
simulations to facilitate a communicative interaction
between learners and educational software. MBS/QR turns
out to be important for the implementation of the major
functions in intelligent training, help and teaching environments.
An important goal of the workshop is to bring together the
researchers interested in this area and discuss the future
of MBS/QR for Educational purposes.
This is the fifth international workshop in a series of
workshops dealing with research on how to use MBS/QR for
the construction of educational systems. The first workshop
was held during the international conference on AI in
Education (AIED) in August 1995 in Washington DC (USA)
and focused mainly on the use of qualitative reasoning
techniques. Other workshops have been held at the
international conference on Intelligent Tutoring
Systems (ITS) in June 1996 in Montreal (Canada),
at the European conference on AI in Education in
October 1996 in Lisbon (Portugal) and at the
European conference on Artificial Intelligence
(ECAI) in August 1998 in Brighton (United Kingdom).
