The International Artificial Intelligence in Education Society

The goal of the International Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) Society is to advance knowledge and promote research and development in the field of Artificial Intelligence in Education. AIED is an interdisciplinary community at the frontiers of the fields of computer science, education and psychology. It promotes rigorous research and development of interactive and adaptive learning environments for learners of all ages, across all domains. The society brings together a community of members in the field through the organization of Conferences, a Journal, and other activities of interest.

The International AIED Society is governed by an Executive Committee, which seeks to support AI in Education developments throughout the international community. Membership statistics show that 600 members from 40 countries have joined since the Society's launch on January 1 1997.

IJAIED. The International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education (IJAIED) is the official journal of the International AIED Society. IJAIED publishes papers concerned with the application of artificial intelligence techniques and concepts to the design of systems that support learning. A subscription to IJAIED is included with membership in the International AIED Society.

AIED: International Conferences on Artificial Intelligence in Education. The International AIED Society organizes a biennial AIED conference, which is the main forum for reporting the best international research in the field of AI in Education. The conferences provide the opportunity for the exchange of information and ideas on related research, development and applications. Society members receive reduced registration rates for AIED conferences. AIED 97 was held in Kobe, Japan; AIED 99 was held in Le Mans, France; AIED 01 was held in San Antonio, USA; AIED 03 was held in Sydney, Australia. AIED 05 (the 12th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education) was held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The last international AIED conference was held July 9-13 2007 in Los Angeles, California.
