IoPARTS 2018 : Call for Papers

The 1st International Workshop on Internet of People, Assistive Robots and Things

held in conjunction with ACM Mobisys 2018

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

We invite original submissions for IoPARTS 2018: the 1st ACM International Workshop on Internet of People, Assistive Robots and Things, held in conjunction with ACM Mobisys 2018 (https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018 https://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018) on 10 June 2018 in Munich, Germany. Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call.

IoPARTS2018 invites researchers, engineers,  and subject matter experts from academia and industry to present their latest innovations, which address coworking challenges between humans and robots within the context of IoT. It stems from the observation that rapid advances in sensing, sensor algorithms, miniaturized computing, and improved actuation are expeditiously bringing robots into our daily lives. The near future holds promise of driverless cars, package delivering drones, precision agriculture, co-working robots, and others. A major paradigm change with these applications is the degree of autonomy of the robot, and the close proximity of their operation in urban environments. This is dramatically different from prior deployments of automation in factories with very structured environments constructed for their operation. This change brings several challenges arising from close proximity of operation with humans, modality of interaction, general awareness, and others. This workshop is interested in bringing out the computer systems challenges that this future paradigm presents. Such systems challenges include spatial awareness of the robot, ability to react in a timely manner, faster and better modes of interaction, and systems/protocols for seamless interaction in diverse environments.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to :

*

Real-time software design for mixed-criticality systems

*

Smart space design for human-robot systems

*

System architectures and protocols for interacting with unmanned autonomous vehicles

*

Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning

*

Novel sensing and interface technologies for human-robot interaction

*

Algorithms  for human-robot coordination

*

Joint inference and learning based on data generated by human wearables, fixed sensors and robots

*

Human-in-the-loop algorithms for robot sensing/actuation

*

Verification of hybrid human-robot systems

*

Improved communication/visualization between robot and humans

*

Energy management among robots and mobile/fixed sensors

*

Issues on heterogeneous sensor modalities and capabilities among humans and robots

*

Security/Privacy challenges of human-robot systems

*

Ethical/social challenges of human-robot systems

*

Results from prototypes, test-beds, and demonstrations

*

Novel applications of human-robot systems

Two types of submissions are solicited:

*

Full papers: Maximum length of 6 pages, including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper.

*

Vision abstracts:Extended abstract that offers a future vision for a research direction in this space, of maximum length of 2 pages. The abstract should include title, author list, narrative (the vision statement), and references. At least one author of each accepted abstract must register for the workshop and participate in a future visions session. The session will include short talks by author of accepted abstracts, followed by discussion.

Submission Guidelines:

*

IoPARTS invites submission of original work not previously published, or under review at another conference or journal.

*

Submissions (including title, author list, abstract, all figures, tables, and references) must be no greater than 6 pagesin length for Full papersand must be no greater than 2 pagesin length for Vision abstracts.

*

Papers must be in PDF format, and should be submitted through the submission website: https://ioparts18.hotcrp.com/.
