Spatial Cognition 2018: Call for Papers
The Spatial Cognition Conference 2018 (SC 2018) will be held in
Tuebingen, Germany, 5-8 September 2018. Spatial Cognition is a
transdisciplinary conference that will bring together researchers
working on a diverse set of topics using a plethora of methods
addressing, for example, biologically inspired systems, spatial
learning, communication, interaction, robotics, perception or place.
In the finest tradition of fostering transdisciplinary exchange, the
conference is organized as a single-track. The final program and the
associated proceedings will be the result of a selective review
process and will include invited talks as well as oral and poster
presentations of refereed submissions. The main conference will be
accompanied by one day of workshops and tutorials, poster presentation
sessions, as well as a doctoral student session. Every effort is being
made to keep conference expenses affordable, particularly for student
attendees. Papers presented at the conference will be published
Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.
