Connectionists: [publication and CFP] IEEE CIS Newsletter on Autonomous Mental Development

[Pierre-Yves Oudeyer]

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce you that the latest issue of the IEEE CIS 
Newsletter on Autonomous Mental Development, is available at:

http://www.cse.msu.edu/amdtc/amdnl/AMDNL-V5-N2.pdf

This issue announces the creation of a journal dedicated to 
developmental robotics and computational developmental systems, the IEEE 
Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development. The inaugural issue will 
appear early next year. I encourage all of you to submit papers for this 
issue. The deadline is 14^th December.

In this issue, we also have two lively reports of IEEE ICDL 2008 and 
Epirob 2008 conferences, highlighting high selection standards as well 
as important research topics such as embryogenesis and the interaction 
between evolution and development. The dialog column, orchestrated by 
Paul Fitzpatrick, challenges us around the question of finding 
killer-applications for developmental systems, with answers from Charlie 
Kemp, Hideki Kozima, Matthew Schlesinger, Claus Von Hofsten, Juyang 
Weng, and Lola Canamero.

Finally, Kerstin Dautenhahn's call for next issue's dialog questions the 
use of robots for investigating human developmental disorders such as 
autism, as well as potential tools for therapy. Answers shall be sent by 
the 15th February to k.dautenhahn at herts.ac.uk or 
pierre-yves.oudeyer at inria.fr.

I wish you a stimulating reading!

Best regards,

Pierre-Yves Oudeyer,
