-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] AINS 2003 submission deadline extended to March 7 Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 16:02:01 -0800 From: Mario Gerla gerla@cs.ucla.edu Organization: UCLA To: tccc@cs.columbia.edu CC: 'Raja Sengupta' raja@path.berkeley.edu, 'Mario Gerla' gerla@cs.ucla.edu, hgs@cs.columbia.edu
Dear colleague:
Please find below the CFPs for the Autonomous Intelligent Networked Systems Symposium, Bologna, June 2003. Note that the abstract submission deadline has been extended to March 7
------------------------------------------------
The Second Annual Symposium on Autonomous Intelligent Networks and Systems
www.ains.cs.ucla.edu, http://path.berkeley.edu/ains
At Santa Lucia Complex, Bologna, Italy June 30 to July 1, 2003.
The goal of this annual symposium has been to explore and encourage research that would support the development of intelligent networks consisting of many autonmous agents, including UAV's, UGV's, or AUV's, interacting with the physical world in a distributed but coordinated fashion, and also to explore applications of such systems for defense, security, industrial control, environmental monitoring, and planetary exploration. As in the first symposium held last year at UCLA, this symposium will explore technological advances in a number of disciplines that would support such a vision; these include communications systems, collaborative robotic systems, battlefield networks, and neuro-biological systems. A major goal is to foster collaboration, on an international scale, through the identification of common models, tools and methodologies and of opportunities for collaboration among engineers and scientists working on related problems with different perspectives.
This symposium will serve as a forum for intelligent agent technologists and visionaries from academia, industry and research labs. Papers may describe research or technology advances as well as ongoing prototyping efforts, experience reports, case studies, and descriptions of interesting systems. Submissions that describe future visions as well as practical technologies of significance and relevance to this area are encouraged. Papers, written in English, should not exceed 3000 words. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. A selection of the papers will be published as a Reference Book. Authors should submit an extended abstract (max 3 pages), a complete list of authors and their affiliations, a contact person for correspondence, and e-mail addresses. Papers may be accepted either for oral or poster presentation. Both Abstract and Papers must be submitted in electronic form (PDF) to ainspapers@path.berkeley.edu.
Topics include but are not limited to
* Self-configuring agent-based wireless networks * Collaborative robotic systems, including large robotic "swarms" * Large-scale emergent behavior * Hierarchical system organizations and dynamic system re-organization * Systems informed by advances in neuro-biological networks * Distributed sensing and control networks * Cooperative behavior in natural and artificial systems * Software architecture for large-scale systems * Simulation of large scale distributed systems * Experimental platforms for the study of autonomous agents * Security in distributed systems * Fault tolerant distributed agent networks * Resource management in autonomous systems
Important Dates
* Electronic Abstract Submission March 7, 2003
