AMD Newsletters
Published by the AMD Technical
Committee
Welcome the birth home of IEEE CIS AMD Newsletter, the Newsletter of the Autonomous Mental Development Technical Committee (AMD TC). The Newsltter was renamed as the CDS TC Newsletter when the TC was renamed the Cognitive and Developmental Systems Technical Committee in 2015 and returned to the original name AMD Newsletter in 2026. This newsletter is a medium to share information within the AMD community and a vehicle to reach other communities. This site is maintained as part of the history.
To receive the announcements of AMD Newsletters, subscribe to the amdnl mailing list at https://groups.io/g/amdnl
The past announcements since March 20, 2026 are also available there.
We expect to produce two issues per year and plan to have the following regular columns:
• Committee News: AMD TC events and news
• General News: announcements of related
conferences,
workshops, books, journals, etc.
• Other: other matters such as dialogues and glossaries
The success of this newsletter depends on your support! Please send the material you recommend and your suggestions to the editor.
We would like to thank IEEE CIS for funding this Newsletter to print and distribute hard copies of this newsletter internationally. We also like to thank INRIA for a fund from 2008 to print and distribute the hard copies of this newsletter in Europe.
The Mental Development Respository, created April 2004, provides information about the subject of Automomenous Mental Development. The International Conferences on Development and Leanring are the major conference series of this TC. The IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development is the major journal of the TC. Brain-Mind Institute supports the educational and research activities of the TC and, in a wider scope but necessary for AMD, the 6 related disciplines --- biology, neurocience, psychology (cognitive science), computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics.
