Networked Embedded Systems: Humans in the Loop
CONET Summer School
Bertinoro, Italy, July 24-30, 2011
www.cooperating-objects.eu/school/2011
** Program now online **
** Application deadline: April 30 **
THEME -- Sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, and cooperating
objects are becoming an important part of our daily life. Humans
build, deploy, use, and maintain these systems that can sense our
activities and influence our behavior. We will increasingly rely on
these networked embedded systems, therefore also requiring a secure
and privacy-preserving treatment of sensitive human-centric
data. Novel paradigms and solutions are also needed to allow humans to
interact with these systems. This school explores the manifold
relationship between networked embedded systems and humans as their
creators, users, and subjects.
GOALS & AUDIENCE -- The goal of the summer school is to survey
fundamental and applied aspects of networked embedded systems and
their relationship to humans, as well as to identify novel
opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series
of lectures by international experts. Participants will also
experience the relevant technologies during hands-on courses and be
given a chance to present their own work during a participants'
workshop. The school will provide a great opportunity to know other
people working in the field, to meet distinguished scholars, and to
establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the
future. We expect about 60 participants. The intended audience are
postgraduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from
universities and industrial laboratories around the world.

PARTICIPATION -- Prospective participants should apply online before
April 30, 2011 at the summer school website. The number of
participants is limited to a maximum of 60. If we receive more
applications, participants will be selected based on their work area
and background, geographic distribution, and date of
application. Acceptance notifications will be sent end of May. The
registration fee (480 EUR in shared double room, 570 EUR in single
room) covers participation in the summer school, accommodation, all
meals, and excursions. CONET provides 15 grants of 480 EUR each for
selected European participants, that is, participation for recipients
of a grant is free of charge when sharing a double room.
ORGANIZERS -- The school is directed by Kay Rˆmer (University of
Luebeck, Germany and ETH Zurich, Switzerland), Friedemann Mattern (ETH
Zurich, Switzerland), and Luca Mottola (SICS, Sweden), and organized
by the European Network of Excellence CONET.
