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;
