Congratulations to the winners.
The selection works as follows. Zhengyou assigned a number to each application received. Jochen, unaware of the number-applicant association, drew 5 random numbers, which decides the winners.
The Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Awards will be announced during the conference. They are decided by an award committee whose members do not have any conflict of interest.
Zhengyou Zhang and Jochen Triesch Program Chairs, ICDL 2009 About the Conference
The International Conference on Development and Learning is a multidisciplinary conference pertaining to all subjects related to the development and learning process of natural and artificial systems, including perceptual, cognitive, behavioral, emotional and all other mental capabilities that are exhibited by humans, higher animals, robots. Its visionary goal is to understand autonomous development in humans and higher animals in biological, functional, and computational terms, and to enable such development in artificial systems. ICDL strives to bring together researchers in neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, robotics, and other related areas to encourage understanding and cross-fertilization of latest ideas and results from the different disciplines.
Best Paper Awards will be offered in ICDL 2009. In addition, 4 students will each receive $250 Travel Awards to support their travel to the conference. Keynotes
