1 Kolin Kolistelut Koli Calling The Fourth Finnish/Baltic Sea Conference on Computer Science Education October 1 3, 2004 in Koli, Finland Organized by the University of Joensuu, Finland Pre-Proceedings

2 2 Dear Participants of Koli Calling 2004 Conference I am very pleased to welcome you all to the conference and Koli s beautiful nature. This is the fourth Finnish / Baltic Sea Conference of Computer Science Education. In Finland the conference has already acquired a well-established position as a meeting point for CS educators and researchers of CS education. However, the conference is gaining more international visibility. This year we were happy to receive submissions also from UK, Sweden, Estonia and USA, and we have participants from 7 countries. The primary goal of the conference is to improve CS education methods and CS education research, and provide a relaxed forum for sharing thoughts and ideas. This year we decided to call separately for research papers and discussion papers to make a clearer distinction between papers that provide novel ideas, approaches and systems for CS education, and papers in which these issues have been elaborated further in some rigid research setting. Both types of papers are, however, equally valuable for the whole CS education community. This decision seemed to be a good choise because the number of submissions was doubled compared with previous years. We received 30 submissions including 16 research papers, 13 discussion papers and one demonstration paper. The program committee had a difficult task in evaluating the papers and making a decision, which ones should be accepted. We finally decided to accept 10 submissions as research papers, 12 submissions as discussion papers, and 5 submissions as posters / demonstrations. We also decided that all papers should be presented in the conference to be accepted in the proceedings. The Koli tradition is that the discussions in the conference are important to improve the papers even further. Thus, the authors should gather the feedback, ideas, and suggestions they receive in the conference, and incorporate them into the final version of their papers, which will appear in the final proceedings. I hope that you will enjoy this experience of participating Koli Calling. Enjoy also the beautiful nature around. I hope that it will inspire new thoughts and ideas about improving CS education, which is our common goal. Espoo, September 28th Lauri Malmi
