CALL FOR PARTICIPATION RoboSense 2012: The International School on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks http://www.robosense.org/ Hammamet, Tunisia, 18-22 December 2012 EARLY APPLICATION DEADLINE: Oct 15, 2012 REGULAR APPLICATION DEADLINE: Nov 15, 2012 Program available on this link: http://www.robosense.org/program.php 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 school 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. RoboSense 2012 also aims to present a comprehensive state-of-the-art of the enabling technologies for the concept of mobile robots, Wireless Sensor Networks, intelligent transportation systems, wireless standard protocols, cooperative robots, etc. from the basic concepts to the latest achievement and the future challenges in the related research area. The program does not only include theoretical lectures, but also encompasses three hands-on labs: one lab on wireless sensor networks, one lab on robotic and one lab on the remote CONET testbed. GOALS The goals of the RoboSense 2012 School are as follows: + Provide a basic survey of the current research works and challenges on mobile and cooperative robots, cyber-physical and sensor-based systems. + Provide a overview of the current enabling technologies for robotics, cyber-physical and sensor-based systems. + Provide a good opportunity to meet people and distinguished scholars working on robotic, cyber-physical and sensor-based systems. + Establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. AUDIENCE The expected audience are: + Post-graduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from universities: RoboSense 2012 will provide a very thorough and comprehensive background for young researchers starting their work in the areas of Robotic, WSNs and CPS. + Researchers and engineers from academic and industrial laboratories around the world. + Industrials who wish to discover the innovative applications of robotic, sensor networks and cyber physical systems. We expect hosting 100 participants. SATELLITE EVENTS Satellite Events + Demos & Posters session: This session will be dedicated to the demonstrations and presentations of preliminary and ongoing works of PhD students addressing WSNs and networked robots. Demo and Poster papers must be submitted to the session chair and must not exceed two pages. + Awards: Best Master/Ph.D. Awards: Ph.D. dissertations and Master theses already defended can be submitted to participate to the awards competition. + Industrial Exhibition: Industrial companies representatives will be invited to present their robotic and sensor networks products.
