KES 2005 9th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent 
Information & Engineering Systems
Invited Session on Knowledge-Based Technology in Web-Based Education

Session Description
-------------------

Knowledge-based techonlogical solutions have a great impact on the
field of Web-based education (WBE). First, Intelligent tutoring
systems (ITS) apply knowledge representation and variety of inference
techniques to support personalized learning experience on a per
learner basis. At the level of knowledge transfer processes, Web-based
Training (WBT) systems utilize collaborative, explorative and
problem-solving approaches to support an efficient transfer of
knowledge between teachers and learners. Moreover, knowledge discovery
techniques are becoming very important in searching for relevant
learning resources because  of a rapidly increasing number of such
learning resources available on the Web. Last but not least, the
actual use of such new technologies as ontology, Semantic Web
languages, Topic maps, etc. for modeling of knowledge-based processes
and didactic approaches in WBE is becoming more and more popular.


The invited session "Knowledge-Based Technology in Web-Based
Education" focuses on the use of knowledge-based techniques, solutions
and applications in the field of Web-based education.

Session Topics
--------------

Session topics include (but are not limited to):
* Intelligent tutoring systems
* Ontology-based user modeling
* Personalized learning experience in WBE
* Ontology-based classification of learning resources in WBE
* Ontology-supported retrieval of learning resources in WBE
* Knowledge transfer processes in WBE systems
* Ontological approaches to modeling of didactics in WBE
* Semantic Web and WBE

Conference Information
----------------------

The annual KES conference (http://www.kesinternational.org/kes2005/)
is now a firmly established event in the intelligent systems
community's calendar. KES conferences regularly attract over 400
