Recent works have demonstrated the challenges of coordinating multiple robots in order to deploy robot networks with self-configuration and self-healing capabilities to guarantee service continuity, also in case of failures. Starting from the unique requirements of a multi robot system, Swarm Robotics is a complex approach that requires an understanding of how to define distributed systems to define self-organization behaviors. Swarm Robotics studies how to make robots collaborate and collectively solve a task where every robot contributes to the general task sharing the same higher-level objectives. To this end, communication wireless networks must be specifically designed in order to support the cooperation and collaboration inside the swarm. This workshop invites original research articles and review articles that focus on communication networking problems in swarm robotics. =========================== TOPICS =========================== - Communication Models and Protocols for Swarm Robotics - Delay-Tolerant Applications for Swarm Robotics - Fog and Edge Computing in Swarm Robotics - 5G Integration with Swarm Robotics - Integration of Unmanned Aerial, Ground, and Underwater Vehicles in Swarm Robotics - Localization, Navigation, and Dynamic Path Planning in Swarm Robotics - Cooperative Control of Multiple Robots - Security and Privacy in Swarm Robotics - The Internet of Things (IoT) in Swarm Robotics - Swarm Intelligence and Nature-Inspired Algorithm in Swarm Robotics - Artificial Intelligence Applications in Swarm Robotics - Continual Learning and Adaptation for Swarm Robotics =========================== IMPORTANT DATES =========================== - Submission deadline: October 16th, 2020 - Notification: November 2nd, 2020 - Camera ready: November 20th, 2020 - Workshop Day: January 9th, 2021 =========================== FETAURES =========================== - Best-selected papers related to mobile fog and edge computing applied to drone swarm will be invited to submit an extended paper to the Special Issue on “Mobile Fog and Edge Computing in Drone Swarms”, MDPI Drones journal - Best-selected papers related to swarm robotics will be invited to submit an extended paper to the Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Swarm Robotics”, MDPI Applied Sciences journal =========================== ORGANIZING COMMITTEE =========================== General Chairs: - Angelo Trotta, University of Bologna, Italy - Gökhan Seçinti, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey - Nicola Roberto Zema, University of Paris-Saclay, France - Zhangyu Guan, University at Buffalo, USA Technical Program Committee (to be completed) - Atakan Aral, Vienna University of Technology, Austria - Berk Canberk, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey - Brian M.

Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms, networks and protocols, wireless communications, collaborative objects, the Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile and social sensing, and embedded systems design. Of special interest are contributions at the confluence of multiple of these areas. IPSN 2021 is part of the CPS-IoT WEEK, the premier venue for research and development of cyber-physical systems. IPSN is co-sponsored by both the ACM and IEEE, and it continues to emphasize research that bridges multiple research communities. IPSN is interested in all aspects of sensor networks, ranging from traditional topics such as networking to more recent developments such as embedded machine learning and computer vision. *** Topics of Interest *** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Sensor data storage, retrieval, processing - Coding, compression, and information theory - Theoretical foundations and fundamental bounds - Network and system architectures and protocols - IoT gateway platform architecture and services - Outdoor, wide-area, or crowdsourced sensing systems - Localization, synchronization, RFID, and RF sensing - Programming models, languages, and systems - Programming models for IoT ensembles - Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools - Operating systems and runtime environments - Applications in health, wellness & sustainability - Applications in smart cities and urban health - Experiences, challenges, comparisons of platforms - Discovery, coordination, and use of IoT services - Security and privacy - IoT reliability, adaptability, and dependability - Technical assessment of emerging IoT standards - Wearable systems and data processing algorithms - Sensor-enabled drone / autonomous vehicle platforms and algorithms - Machine learning and deep learning on sensor data - New hardware and system design to enable machine learning on sensor data - Novel embedded machine learning algorithms - Data related issues, such as methods, tools, and analysis - Fairness, equity, and transparency issues in IoT and CPS - Computer vision for resource-constrained and mobile platforms In addition to the established Best Paper Award, IPSN 2021 may provide a Best Research Artifact Award to the authors who have contributed the research artifact that is judged to be the most novel, easy to use, well documented, and useful to advance research. Research artifacts, such as code, data sets, and tools, are highly encouraged to be submitted or made available simultaneously with paper submission. *** Paper Submissions *** IPSN 2021 accepts double-blind paper submissions which have not been previously published. Posted technical reports (ArXiv or similar) do not count as prior publication and do not violate the double-blind requirement. Submitted manuscripts are up to 12 pages, inclusive of figures, tables, and references, following the ACM master article template. During the review process, the reviewers may anonymously communicate with the authors for clarifying questions. Papers are to be submitted at https://ipsn2021.hotcrp.com/ IPSN collaborates closely with the IoTDI conference, given the proximity in research themes (both related to IoT) and the co-location in CPS-IoT Week. We provide submission guidelines to aid prospective authors with the conference venue selection. In the meantime, we would like to make explicit that double submission remains prohibited under ACM's policy of Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions. In 2021 and to foster a closer joint-community, we would invite quality submissions to one venue for publication at the other, in case we find fit and the authors agree. *** Important Dates *** Abstract Registration: October 19, 2020 11:59:59pm AoE Submission Deadline: October 26, 2020 11:59:59pm AoE Conference Week*: May 18-21, 2021, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA *The conference will take place, in physical or virtual form, no matter what.
