SC 2012 - Spatial Cognition 2012 (SC 2012)

About SC 2012

Spatial Cognition 2012 (SC 2012) will bring together researchers working on spatial cognition, biological inspired systems, spatial learning, communication, robotics, and perception. The conference is single-track and the final program will be the result of a selective review process. The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The main conference will be preceded by one day of workshops and tutorials. Every effort is being made to keep conference expenses affordable, particularly for student attendees. All papers presented at the conference will be published by Springer.
