CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Workshop on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks (RoboSense
2012)
http://www.coins-lab.org/events/RoboSense12/
**************************************************************************
Springer Special Edition
Best selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
papers to the special edition of Springer Book “Cooperative Robots and Sensor
Networks” under the book series “Studies in Computational Intelligence”.
Overview
Wireless connected 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.
