Many conferences mention in their call for papers that the authors of accepted papers in the conference will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to be published in "xxx" journals that is related somehow to the conference organization or publisher.
The question is, what are the expected extensions?
Are they just more clarifications to the published conference paper?
Are they new results related to the mentioned future work in the conference paper?
Are they supposed to complete the work in the conference paper and strictly related to it?
Would appreciate any idea about that.

Dear Mustafa, in general use the following steps:
In general, the extended paper is expected to follow the following guidelines:
1- Authors should note that the extended paper should conform to the scope of the journal. Ideas should be included demonstrating how the paper addresses a particular complex system.
2- The first citation must be to the original conference paper and how it is being expanded using words such as: "This paper is an extension of work originally presented in conference name [1]”
3- Paper should not have more than a 40% overlap with the conference paper. All comments from the conference review may be addressed in detail. To ensure an expedited review, the cover letter should summarize the key changes from the conference paper especially in response to the reviewer comments.
4- Preferably the Title, abstract, introduction and figures should all be revised. These should reflect how the paper differs from the conference paper.
5- Background material should be significantly enhanced.
6- More results may be added and discussion may be significantly expanded/enhanced.
7- Whole paragraphs must not be copied in the journal paper - even if the paper contains other non-trivial changes.
You can have a look at the following links, they are useful:
