Spatial Cognition 2008 - Call for Papers

Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, organization, utilization, and revision of knowledge about spatial environments, be it real or abstract, human or machine. Spatial Cognition comprises research in very different scientific fields concerned with cognitive agents in spatial environments, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, architecture, geography, linguistics, cognitive science, and philosophy. The aim of this research is to help agents to solve spatial tasks and to improve their spatial skills. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including aspects such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, representations of space, map comprehension, and communication of spatial information.
