agents.

This special session is devoted to the new and innovative
techniques used for building intelligent agents and their
applications. Topics of this special session include but
not limited to:

Applications of Intelligent Agents
Architectures of intelligent agents
Agents for electronic commerce applications
Collaborating agents
Multiagent system
Uncertain reasoning and intelligent agents
Mobile agents
Intelligent agents applications in information retrieval and data mining
from the Internet and Web
Learning techniques for agents

Sektion 13: Sprachdidaktik

Schwerpunkt der diesjährigen Sektionsarbeit sollen - in einem sehr weiten
Verständnis - die empirischen Grundlagen sprachlicher Lehr-Lern-Prozesse
sein. Wir möchte der Frage nachgehen, was wir darüber wissen, wie Menschen
Sprachen - ihre Muttersprache und Fremdsprachen - lernen, und zwar jenseits
des primären Spracherwerbs. Welche empirischen Kenntnisse haben wir? Welche
Desiderata gibt es? Welchen Stellenwert haben empirische Untersuchungen in
didaktischen Kontexten? Welche Art von Empirie und Methodologie benötigen
wir? Konzepte wie der autonome Lerner, die auf bestimmten, z.T.
konstruktivistischen Theorien beruhen, können ebenso thematisiert werden
wie eher instruktionsorientierte Ansätze.
Wir können uns Arbeiten vorstellen aus dem Bereich des
Schriftspracherwerbs, der Schreibentwicklung, des
Fremd(fach)sprachenunterrichts, der Kognitionsforschung, der angewandten
kognitiven Linguistik, der Unterrichtsforschung, der Literaturdidaktik, des
Bereichs Deutsch als Fremd-/Zweitsprache, des bilingualen
Sachfachunterrichts oder der Fort- und Weiterbildung. Denkbar ist auch die
gemeinsame Diskussion von empirischen Daten, etwa in Form von Transkripten,
authentischen Texten oder experimentellen Befunden.
