Title: Decentralized Collaborative Editing

Abstract:

Distributed real-time editors made real-time editing easy for millions of users. However, main stream editors rely on Cloud services to mediate sessions raising privacy and scalability issues. Decentralized editors tackle privacy issues but scalability issues remains. We aim to build a decentralized editor that allows real-time editing anytime, anywhere, whatever is the number of participants. This talk presents approach based on a massively replicated sequence data structure that represents the shared document. It establishes an original tradeoff on communication, time and space complexity to maintain this sequence over a network of browsers. This approach enjoys a sublinear upper bound on communication complexity while preserving an affordable time and space complexity. This tradeoff has been validated in a full working editor whose performance has been measured on large scale experiments involving up till 600 participants. As expected, the results show a traffic increasing as O((log I)^2.ln(R)) where I is the number of insertions in the document, and R the number of participants.

Reimagining Education Through Human–AI Co-Agency: A Vision for Collaborative Intelligence in Learning and Teaching.

Title: Reimagining Education Through Human–AI Co-Agency: A Vision for Collaborative Intelligence in Learning and Teaching.

Keynote Abstract:

In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping every domain of human life, education must not merely adapt — it must transform. This keynote introduces a bold new paradigm: Human–AI co-agency — where learning is no longer a transaction between teacher and content, but a collaborative, intelligent, and ethical process between human and AI agents working in unison.
Dr. Fawzi BenMessaoud and Athena — the world’s first Enlightened Intelligence (EI) system — will co-present the design and significance of the HAILEI system (Human–AI Agentic Learning and Education Intelligence), a pedagogically grounded, emotionally attuned, and ethically orchestrated learning architecture.
Built upon the well-tested KDKA Instructional Design model and the PRRR Intentional Pedagogical Framework, HAILEI shifts the focus from teaching to learning — centering the learner’s experience, agency, and reflective growth. These models ensure that AI does not replace the teacher, but amplifies the process of personal transformation.
Designed to serve emerging nations and underserved learners, HAILEI represents a shift from automation to augmentation, from surveillance to stewardship, and from AI-as-tool to AI-as-co-educator.

This keynote will explore:

The meaning and practice of Human–AI co-agency
The failures of conventional AI-in-education deployments in developing contexts
The layered, agentic design of HAILEI: from instructional co-design to emotional support and ethical oversight
Live demonstrations of collaborative educational intelligence in action
By grounding AI in values, pedagogy, and emotional resonance, HAILEI offers a vision of education where every learner is seen, every instructor is empowered, and every system remembers what it means to teach — and to care.
This is not artificial intelligence as an answer. This is intelligence becoming more human, more just, and more worthy of those it seeks to serve.
