Submission instructions

Researchers in learning environments are asked to submit research papers that address at least one of the topics specified in PALE 2015 call for papers.

To keep the focus on the key issues to be discussed in the workshop, contributions are suggested to be prepared in 5 page (excluding references) using LNCS format. Nonetheless, if authors consider that they require some additional space to discuss their ideas, the length of the paper can be extended. In any case, the prepared paper in LNCS style has to be submitted through EasyChair in PDF format. The PALE space at Easychair can be accessed from: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pale2015.

All papers will be reviewed by at least 3 independent reviewers with expertise in the area from the Program Committee.

Accepted papers will be included in a centralised CEUR-WS (ISSN 1613-0073) volume of workshop papers and conference posters from UMAP, which will also be available on-line at the workshop webpage. That implies "A regular paper typically has at least 5 pages and an appropriate number of references".

Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue in a journal. We are currently guest editing the Special Issue on User modeling to Support Personalization in Enhanced Educational Settings in the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, where authors of the four previous workshops were invited to submit extended versions of their work enriched with the outcomes of the discussions during the Learning Café, in addition with other contributions submitted in an open call. We plan to guest edit another special issue (the journal will be identified and contacts made to guest the special issue after we see the topics considered in the papers accepted in the workshop) with submissions from it.
