Abstract
Although intelligent tutoring systems have proven their effectiveness, they are still not
widely spread due to the high development costs. We present ASPIRE, a complete authoring and
deployment environment for constraint-based intelligent tutoring systems. ASPIRE consists of the
authoring server (ASPIRE-Author), which enables domain experts (i.e. teachers) to easily develop
new ITSs for their courses, and a tutoring server (ASPIRE-Tutor), which deploys the developed
systems. We describe the authoring process supported by ASPIRE, and illustrate it on the example
of an ITS that teaches Capital Investment decision making to university students.
