The renowned ITS (Intelligent Tutoring Systems) 30 year old series of top ranking International Conferences extends its legacy by inaugurating a new series of top-flight Thematic International Conferences on state-of-the-art topics in the context of a broad range of multiple academic and research activities undertaken by the Institute of Intelligent Systems (IIS).
The first of this new series of ITS Thematic International Conference aims to regroup research in multidisciplinary domains such as neuroscience, health, computer science, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, education and social interaction on the theme of “Brain Function Assessment in Learning” .
The conference will be organised under the auspices of the Region of Western Greece and of the University of Patras which is the Hosting Institution.
The selected papers will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) proceedings series which enjoys a significantly high impact factor.
Conference Chairs
Claude Frasson, University of Montreal, Canada
claude-frasson Claude Frasson is Professor in Computer Science at University of Montreal since 1983, Head of the HERON laboratory and GRITI inter-university Research Group involving seven universities in Quebec. His research interests are at the convergence of Artificial Intelligence, Education, Human Computer Interaction. He founded, in 1988, the ITS international conference in Intelligent Tutoring Systems, which holds every two years. He coordinated the SAFARI project, a multidisciplinary research effort involving an industrial approach for building, distributing and controlling intelligent courses on the Web and is at the origin of a patent on a distance learning architecture based on networked cognitive agents. He received an ACM award for excellence as the organization chair of 2001 Autonomous Agent Conference. Since 2004, he aims to understand how the human brain functions with emotions, considering that they play an important role in knowledge acquisition and subconscious learning, using EEG systems (see Predicting the Three Major Dimensions of the Learner’s Emotions from Brainwaves and Towards a Brain-Sensitive Intelligent Tutoring System: Detecting Emotions from Brainwaves). He chaired about 20 International conferences and participated to the program committee of numerous international conferences in his research field.
George Kostopoulos, University of Patras, Greece
George K. Kostopoulos M.D., PhD. is Professor Emeritus and past Chairman of the Department of Physiology at the Medical School of the University of Patras, Greece. He has taught several courses on neurophysiology, neuroinformatics and bioethics. In 1982, after several years’ work with the Departments of Neurology and Physiology of McGill University, Canada, he established the Neurophysiology Research Unit at UOP, which conducts experimental neurophysiological research on the neuronal mechanisms underlying brain EEG rhythms, memory, epilepsy and sleep (see https://scholar.google.gr/citations?user=KFxgz5EAAAAJ&hl=en )
EDITORIAL History of neuroscience in Greece: from Alkmaion to austerity
The theme of conference is Brain Function Assessment in Learning and its multiple applications-mainly in the Education and Health Fields -which will become more and more promising. For example, knowing the brainwave activity and the condition of a user, we can detect if he/she is not concentrated, overbusy, hyperactive, anxious, not motivated, and we can apply corrective methods to provide calm, relaxation and better receptivity to allow a better transfer of knowledge and life conditions
