ICLD-EpiRob 2020 Journal Track - Call for Journal Articles for Oral or
Poster Presentation
The program committee of the 10th IEEE International Conference on
Development and Learning (ICDL) invites published journal articles to be
presented in the Journal Track of ICDL.
7th-10th September 2020, Valparaiso, Chile
https://cdstc.gitlab.io/icdl-2020/
==== Important Dates ====
Submission deadline: 25th May 2020
Author notification: 8th of June 2020
Conference: 7th-10th September 2020
==== Overview ====
The Journal Track is designed to provide a forum to discuss important
results related to cognitive and developmental systems recently published
as journal articles, but have not been previously presented as conference
papers. Thus, the journal track offers an opportunity to present
outstanding results that might otherwise not be submitted to a conference
due to their length and complexity.
All accepted journal presentations will be selected for either oral or
poster presentation during the conference based on the reviews - at least
one author is expected to register to ICDL 2020 and to present the paper in
person.
==== Submissions ====
Candidate papers must be original research articles published in a journal
relevant to the research area during 2019 or 2020. Papers that are in press
may be submitted as long as the final camera-ready version is available
online. Extensions of papers that have been previously presented as
conference papers may NOT be submitted to this track.
All submissions must be made by email to Francisco Cruz, including (in a
single PDF):
- Title of the original journal paper.
- Abstract of the paper.
- A complete reference to the original paper in APA format.
- URL where the paper can be downloaded from the publisher if available, or
proof of the final acceptance.
- A copy of the paper with its final camera-ready contents.
Submissions will go through an expedited selection process led by the
conference chairs. Selection criteria include the significance of the
results and relevance to the ICDL community.
==== Scope and Topics ====
The primary list of topics of interest includes, but not limited to:
- principles and theories of development and learning;
- development of skills in biological systems and robots;
- nature vs nurture, developmental stages;
- models on the contributions of interaction to learning;
- verbal, non-verbal and multi-modal interaction;
- models on active learning;
- architectures for lifelong learning;
- emergence of body and affordance perception;
- analysis and modeling of human motion and state;
- models for prediction, planning and problem solving;
- models of human-human and human-robot interaction;
- emergence of verbal and non-verbal communication;
- epistemological foundations and philosophical issues;
- robot prototyping of human and animal skills;
- ethics and trust in computational intelligence and robotics;
- social learning in humans, animals, and robots.

post any relevant information as quickly as possible.
CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE EXTENDED:
10th IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL)
An IEEE Computational Society-sponsored conference
(This is the follow-up of the previous ICDL-EpiRob conference series)
7th-10th September 2020, Valparaiso, Chile
https://cdstc.gitlab.io/icdl-2020/
==== Important Dates ====
Submission deadline: 15th March 2020 -> New deadline: 12th April 2020
Author notification: 15th May 2020 -> moved to 31st of May 2020
Camera ready due: 1st July 2020
Conference: 7th-10th September 2020
==== Overview ====
The IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL),
previously referred to as ICDL-EpiRob, is the premier gathering of
professionals dedicated to the advancement of cognitive and
developmental learning. As such, ICDL is a unique conference gathering
researchers from computer science, robotics, psychology and
developmental studies.
ICDL is a highly selective annual international conference that aims to
showcase and share the very best interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
research on how humans and animals develop sensing, reasoning and actions.
ICDL community focusses on the understanding of how biological agents
take advantage of interaction with social and physical environments to
develop their cognitive capabilities. Moreover, how this knowledge can
be used to improve future computing and robotic systems.
We invite submissions for the conference to explore, extend, and
consolidate the interdisciplinary boundaries of this exciting research
field.
==== Scope and Topics ====
The primary list of topics of interest includes, but not limited to:
- principles and theories of development and learning;
- development of skills in biological systems and robots;
- nature vs nurture, developmental stages;
- models on the contributions of interaction to learning;
- verbal, non-verbal and multi-modal interaction;
- models on active learning;
- architectures for lifelong learning;
- emergence of body and affordance perception;
- analysis and modelling of human motion and state;
- models for prediction, planning and problem solving;
- models of human-human and human-robot interaction;
- emergence of verbal and non-verbal communication;
- epistemological foundations and philosophical issues;
- robot prototyping of human and animal skills;
- ethics and trust in computational intelligence and robotics;
- social learning in humans, animals, and robots.
==== Submissions ====
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers of six
pages with the possibility of two-extra pages at a fee. Submissions are
in the IEEE conference template. Submission will be selected for either
oral or poster presentation based on the reviews. Accepted and presented
regular six-page paper submissions will be included in the conference
proceedings published by IEEE Xplore after the conference.
