GDR-Robotique :. Annonce :. Nouveau: Journal of Behavioral Robotics

Bonjour, Vous recevez cet email car cette annonce correspondant à vos intérêts vient tout juste d'être publiée sur le site du Groupe De Recherche en Robotique. Cette annonce a été diffusée par Raja Chatila (LAAS-CNRS). Sujet : Nouveau: Journal of Behavioral Robotics Appel à contributions - Call for papers Dear Roboticists A new Journal of Behavioral Robotics also called Paladyn (http://www.versita.com/science/engineering/paladyn/) is launched by Versita (www.versita.com), one of the leading science publishers in Central and Eastern Europe. I am acting as Editor in Chief. The Journal of Behavioral Robotics is a peer-reviewed, online only journal intended to serve as a premier source of knowledge and an exchange platform for all those engaged or interested in behavioral robotics. The journal focuses on the original high-quality research results that cover such topics as: cognitive robotics, evolutionary robotics, robot control, learning and adaptation, artificial intelligence, machine vision, affective robotics and many more. The full Paladyn's scope, subject to constant changes, can be viewed at http://www.versita.com/science/engineering/paladyn/authors/aims_and_scope/ . In general, we will welcome good manuscripts whenever they present novel behavior-based or nature-inspired concepts, designs or applications of robots and other autonomous and intellligent systems. The Journal is of course open to contributions from all over the world and we are ready to promote different viewpoints on robotics, regardless of the authors' research background, from robot engineers and computer scientists to physicists, biologists or psychologists. Our motto is: excellence through diversity. Regarding the journal's organization, Paladyn will start publishing quarterly, with approximately ten papers per issue, depending on the manuscript inflow. The first issue of Paladyn is scheduled for January 2010. Paper submission is handled online via Editorial Manager platform available at http://www.editorialmanager.com/paladyn/ . We already have the first submissions being processed in the system. The paper processing overview is given at http://www.versita.com/editool/em-review/ . Th eJournal is supported by a professional editorial team and a number of Editorial Advisory Board members - all being worldwide-recognized experts in their disciplines. For full details, please refer to http://www.versita.com/science/engineering/paladyn/editors/ . As an author of Paladyn you can have a range of benefits: - fast and constructive peer review, - international range, - convenient, web-based paper submission system - Editorial Manager, - high-quality electronic publication technology based on Metapress platform, - extensive promotion of each published article to hundreds of researchers working in the same field, - free language-correction services for non-English-speaking authors of accepted papers, - no publication charge. We look forward to your manuscripts! You may also want to consider joining our Editorial Advisory Board (EAB). The main expectations we have from EAB members is to give us occasional advice on the strategic issues regarding the journal and promote it in the robotics community, i.e. recommend it to colleagues, PhD students, librarians etc. Apart from EAB members, we are looking for a few more editors to cover selected topics related to behavioral robotics. If you think, you could use your research experience in any of the areas specified in the journal's scope to edit the manuscripts submitted to Paladyn, or if you would like to cover a new, emerging topic, please, send your application to the Managing Editor at aruta@versita.com. Finally, if you simply support Paladyn, its ethos and its mission, you are kindly encouraged to spread the information about the journal whenever an opportunity occurs. Our flyer available at http://www.versita.com/UserFiles/File/Authors/Paladyn/flyer.pdf may be useful for such purposes. Sincerely yours, Raja Chatila Editor-in-Chief Paladyn.
