Call for Papers
RoboSense 2014
The Third International Workshop on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks
Hasselt, Belgium, June 2 - 5, 2014.
http://robosense.coins-lab.org
Highlight: Best selected papers will be invited to submit an extended
version of their papers to the special edition of Springer Book on
"Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks" under the book series
"Studies in Computational Intelligence".
Overview
Mobile robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled great
potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications.
Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields
and little work has investigated the marriage between these two
technologies. However, these two technologies share several features,
enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary
support to each other. The objective of this workshop is to bring together
researchers from academia, and industry working in to both robotics and
sensor networks areas to present and discuss recent advances and
innovative ideas pertaining to these fields. Papers dealing with the
coupling between robots and sensor networks are particularly sought.
The workshop also looks for contributions about cyber-physical
applications based on robotics and sensor networks, such as intelligent
transportation systems, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc.
The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new
ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in these
areas.
The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage
discussions among the attendees. Statements which are innovative,
controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought.
RoboSense 2014 will be held in conjunction with the 5th International
Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2014) in
Hasselt, Belgium, June 02-05, 2014.
