[交流] 《Journal of Behavioral Robotics》约稿

Dear Collegues, Happy new year! I am an associate Editor of "Paladyn. Journal of Behavioral Robotics" (http://www.versita.com/science/engineering/paladyn/). Paladyn is a new journal launched by Versita (www.versita.com<http://www.versita.com>, one of the leading science publishers in Central and Eastern Europe. Our ambition is to become recognized worldwide in the robotics community not only through publishing the top-quality research articles, but also through excelling other publishers by being faster, more active and more online in everything we do. In pursue of this target, we would like to attract to our journal a number of recognized scientists in all subfields of robotics, from both academia and industry. Perhaps you are among the potential Paladyn's authors? Please read below a short description of the journal to decide. Paladyn is a peer-reviewed, online only journal intended to serve as a premier source of knowledge and an exachange platform for all those engaged or interested in the emerging field of 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/e ... ors/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. We are open to the 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 our system. The paper processing overview is given at http://www.versita.com/editool/em-review/ . The Editor-in-Chief of Paladyn is Prof. Raja Chatila, LAAS-CNRS, France. Our new publishing project is also 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 at 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, Jinguo Liu, Ph.D. Associate Editor Paladyn.
