We are pleased to present the Proceedings of the 12th Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education -- ITiCSE 2007. Two years ago, the privilege of hosting ITiCSE 2007 was awarded to the University of Dundee. Since then we have spent many hours planning to make this event as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. We hope that we have been successful. In the academic program, we have paper presentations, panel discussions, working groups, keynote speeches, tutorials, faculty and student posters, plus practical demonstrations and tips & techniques. The social program includes a ship, a Countess, a castle and an interactive theatrical performance.
ITiCSE 2007 received nearly 300 academic submissions, including a record 210 papers. Thanks to our team of over 400 reviewers, all papers received at least 3 reviews, most 4, 5 or even 6. The Program Committee accepted 28% of the papers submitted. All proposals in other submission categories were very carefully reviewed. The Program Committee worked hard to create the optimum mix of high quality, relevant and interesting submissions befitting an ITiCSE conference and contributing to the special theme for 2007: Inclusive Education in Computer Science. We are fortunate to have three excellent invited speakers, each of whom will provide a different perspective on that theme: Paul Curzon (Queen Mary, University of London); Chris van der Kuyl (Chairman, Tayforth Consulting Ltd), and Vicki Hanson (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center).
ITiCSE 2007 is a truly international event; submissions were received from 31 different countries: 15 European and 16 non-European. To date (April 2007), the conference website has received hits from 83 countries. The University of Dundee is pleased to be ITiCSE's first Scottish host, especially in this the University's 40th anniversary year. This is also the 50th anniversary of the British Computer Society and the 60th anniversary of the founding of the ACM. The School of Computing welcomes ITiCSE visitors to its new home, the Queen Mother Building, which opened in 2005 and is named in memory of the first Chancellor of the University.
Serious fun in computer science
Computer Science has been in crisis for several years. Interest in studying it has dropped dramatically. We can wring our hands, or we can do something about it. Computer Science needs to engage with pure outreach: selling the subject (for free). Our ...
Where have all the computer scientists gone?
In recent years Universities all over the UK have been bemoaning the lack of undergraduates studying Computer Science. Is this all because of the internet bubble bursting or is Computer Science Education as we know it irrelevant? Professor van der Kuyl ...
Inclusive thinking in computer science education
On average, one in every five people has a disability. There is a growing, worldwide attention to the rights and needs of disabled users to access information technologies (IT). This technology is not simply for recreational use, but in many cases is a ...
