BRIEF WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Tutorial Dialogue Systems is currently an area of great emphasis in
the research field of Intelligent Tutoring Systems. This workshop
will focus on (1) issues surrounding the evaluation of tutorial
dialogue systems (2) issues surrounding analysis and annotation of
naturalistic tutorial dialogue corpora as well as logfiles of
human-computer tutoring dialogues (3) publicly available resources
for corpus analysis as well as for building and evaluating tutorial
dialogue systems.  Please see workshop website at
