ARCS-10 is an important event in the areas of Automation, Robotics, Control Systems and related areas. The conference will be held at the same time and location where several other major international conferences will be taking place. The conference will be held as part of 2010 multi-conference (MULTICONF-10). MULTICONF-10 (website: http://www.promoteresearch.org) will be held during July 12-14, 2010 in Orlando, Florida, USA. The primary goal of MULTICONF is to promote research and developmental activities in computer science, information technology, control engineering, and related fields. Another goal is to promote the dissemination of research to a multidisciplinary audience and to facilitate communication among researchers, developers, practitioners in different fields.The following conferences are planned to be organized as part of MULTICONF-10. * International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-10) * International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Control Systems (ARCS-10) * International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) * International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (CCN-10) * International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems and Web Technologies (EISWT-10) * International Conference on High Performance Computing Systems (HPCS-10) * International Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ISP-10) * International Conference on Image and Video Processing and Computer Vision (IVPCV-10) * International Conference on Software Engineering Theory and Practice (SETP-10) * International Conference on Theoretical and Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (TMFCS-10) We invite draft paper submissions.

The scope of development and learning covered by this conference includes perceptual, cognitive, motor, behavioral, emotional and other related capabilities that are exhibited by humans, higher animals, artificial systems and robots. While most other conferences focus on either mechanisms or organisms, ICDL focuses on both! The papers presented at the conference are split approximately 50-50 between the "natural intelligence side," such as neuroscience and psychology, and the "artificial intelligence side," such as machine intelligence and robotics. This diversity is mirrored in the composition of the organizing committee and the ICDL governing board. Please join us in 2010 when we celebrate our 10-th anniversary. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * General principles of development * Cognitive and perceptual development * Developmental learning: schedules and architectures * New methodologies to study natural and artificial intelligence. * Statistical learning in humans and machines * Embodied cognition * Play and exploration in animals, infants and robots * Interactive learning * Cultural learning * Social and emotional development * Theory of mind * Language acquisition * Skill acquisition * Intrinsic motivation * Dynamic systems * Attention mechanisms and their role in development * Philosophical issues of development and learning * Differences between learning and development * Interactions of learning and development with evolution * Grounding of knowledge and representations * Studies and models of developmental disorders, e.g., autism * Using robots to study development and learning * Human-Robot interaction * Visual, auditory, and tactile systems and their development * Motor systems and their development * Biological and biologically inspired developmental architectures * Neural plasticity during development. ICDL 2010 will accept two types of submissions: 1) Full six-page paper submissions. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and will be selected for either an oral presentation or a featured poster presentation. Featured posters will have a 1 minute "teaser" presentation as part of the main conference session and will be showcased in the poster sessions. 2) Two-page poster abstract submissions. To encourage late-breaking results or for work that is not sufficiently mature for a full paper, ICDL will accept 2-page abstracts. These submissions will NOT be included in the conference proceedings. Accepted abstracts will be presented during the evening poster sessions. Important dates: Feb 20, 2010 Full 6-page paper submissions due May 20, 2010 Notification of accept/reject for papers May 27, 2010 2-page poster abstracts due June 10, 2010 Notification of accept/reject for abstracts June 20, 2010 Camera-Ready Copy due July 20, 2010 Early Registration Deadline Aug. 18-21, 2010 Conference General Chairs: * Benjamin Kuipers, University of Michigan * Thomas Shultz, McGill University Program Chairs: * Alexander Stoytchev, Iowa State University * Chen Yu, Indiana University, Bloomington Publicity chairs: * Ian Fasel, University of Arizona, USA (for North America) * Jochen Triesch, Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, Germany (for Europe) * Jun Tani, RIKEN, Japan (for Asia).
