Dear colleagues,


We have the pleasure to invite you to contribute to the 4th International Workshop on Education through Advanced Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. It will be co-located with ESEC/FSE ‘22 in Singapore.


Please find hereby the call for papers. We strongly encourage contributions focusing on out-of-the-box tools, ideas, methodologies, experimentations, etc. pertaining to education through and to digital technologies.


We would also be grateful if you could help us advertise the workshop by forwarding this CFP to your research collaborators.


Best regards,

EASEAI organizers

Description

In the past few years, the world has seen a tremendous digital transformation in all of its areas. In consequence, the general public needs to be able to acquire an ever-increasing amount of digital literacy and at least some level of proficiency with modern digital tools.


While modern software engineering relies heavily on Computer Assisted Software Engineering (CASE) tools and development methodologies (to improve productivity, quality, and efficiency of development teams), those tools remain targeted towards experienced practitioners and computer science remains taught in a very classical way.


In the same time, the rise of artificial intelligence allows more and more easily to provide automated support, automate the processing and review of documents such as dissertations and other kinds of exercises, or to predict the needs of students.


This context seems to be a perfect opportunity to foster interesting discussions in a workshop that gathers people from many different communities (software engineering, education science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, etc.), through the common lens of how advanced software tools and techniques might be used as a catalyst for a better way to teach various types of students.


Topics of interest

Topics include, but are not limited to:


Tools and techniques

 *

   Advances in automated grading of assignments.

 *

   Advances in automated feedback and recommendations to provide
   support to students.

 *

   Visualization of technical and/or scientific information in various
   fields (chemistry, software engineering, physics, history,
   sociology, etc.).

 *

   Efforts related to the improvement of usability of advanced tools
   for non experienced users.

 *

   Efforts related to inclusion of users with disabilities in the
   learning environment.

 *

   Dropout prediction in a learning environment using machine learning.

 *

   Methods with a focus on explainability and interpretability (either
   to students or teachers) are particularly welcome.


Methodologies

 *

   New and unexpected usage of established software engineering
   practices in the education environment.

 *

   Integration of agile methods principles in the education environment.

 *

   Integration of software quality standards and methods dedicated to
   continuous improvement in the education environment.

 *

   Application to serious game and gamification in the context of
   education.

 *

   Team work or individual work in online settings or not.


Evaluations and Lessons Learned

 *

   Feedback on case studies using cutting edge techniques, methods, and
   tools applied to the education environment.

 *

   Improvement of computational thinking skills and digital literacy
   through software engineering.

 *

   Improvement of critical thinking and research skills of students.

 *

   Integration of software engineering and artificial intelligence
   research into teaching and training.

 *

   Introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning
   principles for younger audiences.


Types of Submissions

We invite original papers in the conference format (ACM sigconf, double column) describing positions and new ideas (short papers up to 4 pages) as well as new results and reporting on innovative approaches (long papers up to 8 pages). All accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library, together with the other ESEC/FSE workshops proceedings.


The workshop also welcomes presentations of previously peer-reviewed published papers. We will invite authors to submit a one-page extended abstract that will not be included in the proceedings.


Workshop Format

The workshop will be a hybrid organization. Presenters will be invited to submit a video of their work that will be available to attendees before the workshop begins.  The workshop will take place on one day and include 3 or 4 presentation sessions. Each accepted paper will have 10 minutes for presentation. At the end of each presentation session, there will be a time for discussion (5 to 10 minutes per accepted paper). Based on its success during the last editions, discussants will be assigned to accepted papers to foster and trigger discussions.



Review Process

The workshop will follow a single-blind peer review process. Each contribution will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Acceptance will be jointly decided with the reviewers, based on the reviews and discussions.


As previously published papers have been already reviewed and accepted, they will not be reviewed again for technical content. If needed, the presentation's propositions will be prioritized, based on the content and structure of the sessions.
