Evaluating the quality of evidence for intelligent tutoring systems in the tutoring of math for children aged 6 to 12 : a systematic review by Cheng, Janice Shu Hui, Lee, Keith Yong Wei

“…From these 14 studies, 4 of them showed “sufficient” evidence to support their findings on the incorporation of ITSs into mainstream classrooms, but went on to score poorly on other additional quality indicators. Our main findings are as follows: (a) there has been insufficient research conducted that focuses on ITS incorporation in primary school teaching frameworks for mathematics, and (b) the quality of evidence among the existing studies is severely lacking. …”

3-D multi-player pursuit-evasion game with a faster evader by Fang, Xu, Cheng, Cheng, Xie, Lihua

“…This paper studies two kinds of multi-player pursuit-evasion games in 3-D space: Two-pursuer one-evader game and multi-pursuer one-evader game. The main challenges are that the evader has faster speed than a group of pursuers and the moving directions of the pursuers and faster evader are unknown to each other. …”
