Connectionists: ICLD-EpiRob 2020 Journal Track - Extended Deadline and COVID-19 Update

[Francisco Cruz]

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.

28th-30th October 2020, Valparaiso, Chile
https://cdstc.gitlab.io/icdl-2020/


==== COVID-19 Update ====

We have been monitoring the situation evolving around COVID-19 closely and
after considering multiple options, together with our partners we have made
the following changes:

- The conference will be rescheduled to the 28th to 30th of October of
2020.
This will be almost two months later than initially planned.
- Additionally, ICDL 2020 will be a hybrid event with on-site and online
participants. Online/Virtual attendees will have a reduced registration fee.
- Moreover, we have extended all our deadlines. Already submitted articles
can be modified.
- Finally, we will record and make as many of the talks available to the
community.

We hope that with these changes, we can still make exiting state-of-the-art
research on cognitive and developmental systems to as many of you as
possible.

Stay safe and we hope to welcome you in Valparaiso.

==== Important Dates ====
Submission deadline: 29th June 2020
Author notification: 20th of July 2020
Conference: 28th-30th October 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;
