Call for Papers - Special Issue in IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and
Developmental Systems

========================================================================

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Following up on the success of the ICDL 2021 conference, we are pleased to
announce a second edition on the special issue in the IEEE Transactions on
Cognitive and Developmental Systems (TCDS) on related topics.

 

Below are the relevant details.

Overview

========

This special issue aims to track the state-of-the-art progress on
development and learning in natural and artificial systems. It concentrates
on development and learning from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Researchers from computer science, robotics, psychology, and developmental
studies are solicited to share their knowledge and research on how humans
and animals develop sensing, reasoning and actions, and how to exploit
robots as research tools to test models of development and learning. We
expect the submitted contributions emphasize the interaction with social and
physical environments and how cognitive and developmental capabilities can
be transferred to computing systems and robotics. This approach goes hand in
hand with the goals of both understanding human and animal development and
applying this knowledge to improve future intelligent technology, including
for robots that will be in close interaction with humans.

 

The primary list of topics of interest include, but not limited to:

- Principles and theories of development and learning;

- Development of skills in biological systems and robots;

- Models on the contributions of interaction to learning;

- Non-verbal and multi-modal interaction;

- Nature vs. nurture, developmental stages;

- 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.

  

Contributions

============

 

The special issue is open to novel contributions. 

Also extended versions of published conference papers (such as in ICDL 2021)
are welcome, but they must have at least 30% new impacting
technical/scientific material in the submitted journal version, and there
should be less than 50% verbatim similarity as reported by a tool (such as
CrossRef). Additionally, the conference papers and the detailed summary
differences must be included as part of the journal submission to TCDS. All
submissions will be reviewed as regular TCDS papers before acceptance.
