**************************** FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ****************************

International CONET Summer School

ACT-CONTROL-MOVE: BEYOND NETWORKED SENSORS

August 15 - 21, 2010 Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany www.cooperating-objects.eu/school/2010

------------------------------------ Application Deadline: May 31, 2010 ------------------------------------

THEME -- Distributed sensors and sensor networks deliver huge amounts of real-world data - but how can we make effective use of these data? How can we use it to control real-world processes in a timely manner, and how can we control the sensing systems themselves? Future networked embedded systems will have a sensing part, but they also act on the real-world, they may be mobile, and they may consist of cooperating heterogeneous devices with vastly different capabilities. Designing and realizing such systems which will empower a new generation of real-world applications with significant impact on industry and research is a true challenge.

GOALS AND AUDIENCE -- The goal of the summer school is to survey fundamental and applied aspects of distributed actuation, control, and mobility in the context of networked embedded systems, as well as to identify novel opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series of lectures by international experts. Participants can experience the relevant technologies during hands-on courses and can present their own work during a participant's workshop. The school will provide a good opportunity to get 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.

TOPICS - Mobility by sea, air, and land - Actuators and actuation - Cooperation of mobile and stationary sensors - Smart energy management - Cyber-physical systems - Real-time aspects - Distributed control - Bio-inspired approaches - Localization and tracking - Event management - Applications: odor source localization, sunglasses for buildings, airborne monitoring, smart farming, smart enterprises - Hands-on tutorial: cell phones as a mobile sensing platform - Hands-on tutorial: cooperation of robots and sensor networks

LOCATION -- The school will take place in the relaxed and inspiring atmosphere of Schloss Dagstuhl (Dagstuhl manor house), Germany, close to the border of Luxembourg and France. Schloss Dagstuhl is "the world's premier venue for informatics": it was built in 1760 and is used for computer science seminars and conferences since 1990. Besides providing accommodation and a comprehensive computer science research library, it offers a unique setting for inspiring discussions, informal exchange of ideas, and socializing. The rural surroundings provide good opportunities for relaxed walks.

PARTICIPATION -- Prospective participants should apply online before May 31, 2010 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 by June 15. The registration fee (220 EUR in shared double room, 310 EUR in single room) covers participation in the summer school, accommodation, all meals and excursions. CONET provides 15 grants of 220 EUR each for selected European students, that is, participation for recipients of a grant is free of charge when sharing a double room.

ORGANIZATION -- The school is directed by Kay Roemer (University of Lubeck and ETH Zurich) and Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich) and organized by the European Network of Excellence CONET. For details see www.cooperating-objects.eu/school/2010 or contact us at act-control-move@inf.ethz.ch.
