03 Apr '07

Dear Colleagues, Please find attached the CFP for the First International Workshop on Networking Technology for Robotics and Applications (NeTRA 2007) organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2007) is approaching. The workshop will be held in Turtle Bay Resort, Honolulu Hawaii USA, on August 16 2007. The deadline for paper submission is now April 15, 2007. Submission instructions are provided on the workshop web site (http://www.me.uvic.ca/~danielac/NeTRA.html) The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Communications Society and the IEEE Digital Library. Kind regards, Yan Bai and Daniela Constantinescu, NeTRA 2007 workshop co-chairs ----------------------------------------------------------------- NeTRA 2007 Call for Papers Web site: hhtp://www.me.uvic.ca/~danielac/NeTRA.html Important Dates: Manuscript submission: April 8, 2007 Acceptance notification: May 15, 2007 Camera-ready papers due: June 1, 2007 Workshop date: August 16, 2007 What provisions are required at the control, sensing, planning and action levels to ensure reliable task execution by robots connected via unreliable networks? This is the key question explored in the First International Workshop on Networking Technology for Robotics and Applications (NeTRA 2007) organized in conjunction with ICCCN 2007 http://www.me.uvic.ca/~danielac/NeTRA.html Networked robotics use wired and wireless network communication channels such as the Internet and wireless LAN to enable humans to remotely control robots and to support inter-robot interactions. They can provide dexterity, power and intelligence far beyond the capabilities of a single robot, but pose major scientific challenges related to communications, control, distributed perception, information fusion, and cooperative manipulation. These challenges take on additional complexity when considered in conjunction with quality of service (QoS) support and network security issues. Yet, as networked robots become more pervasive, they increasingly use commercial wired and wireless networks and become more likely targets of network security attacks, therefore requiring QoS and security support for guaranteed performance. NeTRA 2007 will provide a forum for researchers to present state-of-the-art results in robotics and computer networks, and to discover synergisms between the two areas that can contribute to the successful deployment of interconnected robots. Of great interest are advances in new networked robotics applications, including home automation, security, exploration of harsh environments, medical applications, and service robotics. We invite original contributions which include, but are not limited to, the following topics of interest: - Network technologies for service robotics - Security provisions for internet robots - Communication in multiple-user/multiple-robot systems - Ad-hoc robot networks - Network support for cooperative manipulation - QoS in networked haptics and teleoperation - Security and privacy in medical robot networks - Cooperation among inhomogeneous robots - Networked robotics applications Submission Details: All contributions should be submitted using EDAS (http://edas.info/) When login EDAS, please click the Submit Paper tab, and then select ICCCN 2007 and click the associated Submit Paper icon. In the tracks page, please select NeTRA 2007 to submit your paper. Papers representing original research, not published or under review elsewhere, are invited. Submitted papers should follow the standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font), and should be limited to 6 pages including figures and references. Up to two extra pages are allowed at an additional cost of US$150 per page. All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Communications Society and the IEEE Digital Library.
