mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">The
<b>Spatial Cognition Conference 2018 (SC 2018) will be held in Tuebingen, Germany, 5-8 September 2018</b>. Spatial Cognition is a transdisciplinary conference that will bring together researchers working on a diverse set of topics using a plethora of methods
addressing, for example, biologically inspired systems, spatial learning, communication, interaction, robotics, perception or place. In the finest tradition of fostering transdisciplinary exchange, the conference is organized as a single-track. The final program
and the associated proceedings will be the result of a selective review process and will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed submissions. The main conference will be accompanied by one day of workshops and tutorials,
poster presentation sessions, as well as a doctoral student session. Every effort is being made to keep conference expenses affordable, particularly for student attendees. Papers presented at the conference will be published Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of high quality papers will be accepted for both presentation at the conference and published as Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence by Springer. It is essential that manuscripts must describe origial work that has neither been published nor should it
currently be under review in a different outlet. The language of the conference, including the proceedings, is English and papers should be written in an acceptable style. Papers need to be formatted according to Springer Lecture Note Style and paper length
should not exceed 15 pages. For more details, refer to the formatting instructions below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
