Apologies for multiple posting
================================================================ 2nd International Workshop on Adaptive Robotic Ecologies (ARE'13), at AmI 2013 ================================================================ We would like to welcome you to participate and contribute to the 2nd International Workshop on Adaptive Robotic Ecologies (ARE'13), at AmI 2013 : Fourth International Joint Conference on Ambient Intelligence, Dec 3, 2013 - Dec 5, 2013, Dublin, Ireland. Robotic ecologies are networks of heterogeneous robotic devices (sensors, actuators and automated home appliances) pervasively embedded in everyday environments, where they cooperate in applications such as Ambient Assisted Living. The goal of ARE'13 ( <http://are13.ucd.ie> http://are13.ucd.ie) is to bring together state-of-the-art contributions describing solutions that enable robotic ecologies to be self-learning, self-configuring, and self-adapting, in order to increase their adaptability, and reduce the amount of preparation and pre-programming required for their deployment in real world applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Algorithms and theories for cooperation and configuration in robotic ecologies; - Evaluation of adaptive robotic ecologies; - Learning techniques to adapt to changes in the environment and in user needs; - Self-configuration supporting open, heterogeneous and computationally constrained systems; - Adaptation for people-centric robotic ecologies, personalization and user interaction; - Concrete examples of adaptive robot ecologies to AmI applications - Software engineering and integration issues; - Current efforts in the standardization of interfaces (SW, HW) for the integration in AmI environments of commercial devices (sensors, actuators, robots). PUBLICATION Proceedings of the workshops will be published by Springer under the <http: //www.springer.com/series/7899> Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) serie ( <http://www.springer.com/series/7899> http://www.springer.com/series/7899). All accepted contributions will also be published on the workshop webpage. CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Papers are solicited from different research areas, including ambient intelligence, robotics, wireless sensor networks, and agent systems. Contributions will be reviewed for quality and relevance to the workshop’s theme and should present substantial novel research achievements. Theoretical and applied papers, as well as papers that capture best practices and lessons learned from field studies and EU projects are encouraged. Papers presenting preliminary results may be accepted in the form of extended abstracts. SUBMISSION PROCESS Papers should be up to 14 pages in the CCIS one-column page format, and should be submitted in pdf format through <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=are2013> EasyChair ( <https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=are2013> https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=are2013) Authors should apply Springer conference paper templates, which can be found in the <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0> author’s instruction page ( <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0> http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) Submitting a contribution is not a prerequisite to participation in the workshop and the discussion sessions.
