The theme of ITS 2018 was “A 30-Year Legacy of ITS Conferences” with an objective to celebrate the academic and research achievements as well as the ongoing scientific contributions and impact of the ITS conferences over a 30-year history in the field of intelligent systems in education and across other disciplines. The conference emphasized the use of advanced computer technologies and interdisciplinary research for enabling, supporting, and enhancing human learning. It promoted high-quality interdisciplinary research creating a forum for presenting and sharing challenges and novel advancements in artificial intelligence. It triggered an exchange of ideas in the field, reinforcing and expanding the international ITS network of researchers, aca- demics, and market representatives. The call for scientific papers solicited work pre- senting substantive new research results in using advanced computer technologies and interdisciplinary research for enabling, supporting, and enhancing human learning. A Posters Track was also organized, which provided an interactive forum for authors to present research prototypes to conference participants, as well as work in progress. The international Program Committee consisted of 93 leading members (43 senior and 50 regular) of the intelligent Tutoring Systems community, assisted by 33 external reviewers. The conference (general) chair was Roger Nkambou from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Canada; the Program Committee chairs were Roger Azevedo from North Carolina State University, USA, and Julita Vassileva from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Research papers were reviewed by at least three reviewers (with the majority receiving four or more reviews) through a double-blind process. Only 26.5% of papers submitted as full paper were accepted; 21 were accepted as short papers with six pages published in the proceedings. We also accepted 29 posters presentations; some of them were directly submitted to the poster track chaired by Bob Hausman (Carnegie Learning) and Tanner Jackson (Educational, Testing Service, USA). We believe that the selected full papers describe some very significant research and the short papers some very interesting new ideas, while the posters present research in progress that deserves close attention. A separate Doctoral Consortium (DC) provided a forum in which PhD students could present and discuss their work during its early stages, meet peers with shared interests, and receive feedback from senior members of the field as mentors. The DC chairs were Maiga Chang from Athabasca University, Canada, and Éric Beaudry from UQAM, Canada. The DC Committee accepted six papers; each of them received at least five reviews with many (50%) receiving seven reviews. The management of the review process and the preparation of the proceedings was handled through EasyChair. VI Preface Additionally, the ITS 2018 program included the following workshops and tutorials selected by the workshop and tutorial chairs, Nathalie Guin from the Université de Lyon 1, France, and Amruth Kumar from Ramapo College of New Jersey, USA: – W1: C&C-ITS - Context and Culture in Intelligent Tutoring Systems by Valéry Psyche, Isabelle Savard, Riichiro Mizoguchi and Jacqueline Bourdeau – W2: Learning Analytics: Building Bridges Between the Education and the Com- puting Communities by Sébastien Beland, Michel Desmarais and Nathalie Loye – W3: Exploring Opportunities for Caring Assessments by Diego Zapata-Rivera and Julita Vassileva – W6 (FD): Optimizing Human Learning: Workshop eliciting Adaptive Sequences for Learning (WeASeL), Jill-Jênn Vie and Fabrice Popineau – T1: Automating Educational Research Through Learning Analytics: Data Balancing and Matching Techniques by David Boulanger, Vivekanandan Kumar and Shawn Fraser – T2: Authoring, Deploying and Data Analysis of Conversational Intelligent Tutoring Systems by Xiangen Hu, Zhiqiang Cai, Arthur Graesser and Keith Shubeck. The ITS 2018 industry track included the following workshops selected by the industry track chair, Robert Sottilare from the US Army Research Laboratory, USA: – W7: ITS GIFT Workshop – W8: ITS Standards for Adaptive Instructional Systems Workshop Finally, we had three outstanding invited speakers in the plenary sessions: Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal, Canada), a renowned figure in the field of deep learning, Vania Dimitrova (University of Leeds, UK), and Sidney D’Mello (University of Colorado Boulder, USA), both leaders in different specialized areas of the ITS field. In addition to the contributors mentioned above, we would like to thank all the authors, the various conference chairs, the members of the Program Committees of all tracks, the external reviewers, the Steering Committee members and in particular its chair, Claude Frasson. We would also like to acknowledge the Institute of Intelligent Systems (IIS), which acted as the conference organizer (particularly Kitty Panourgia and her excellent team for the permanent follow up of the organization), and the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), the hosting institution. Last but not least, we express our gratitude to the conference sponsors, in particular the National Science Foundation (NSF), Springer, and Tourisme Montreal for their financial support.
