Hello Adel,

Thank you for your support in joining the technical program committee of The International Workshop on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks (RoboSense 2012) (http://www.coins-lab.org/events/RoboSense12/).

We would like to ask you to consider and plan for submitting papers with your students and encourage your colleagues, research group members and fellow scientists to contribute and participate in this workshop.

The success of RoboSense 2012 heavily relies on our promotion plan. Please send the CFP to different mailing lists, invite your colleagues. The call for papers is following this email and attached as PDF for your convenience. Please note that accepted papers will be published by Elsevier, and selected papers will be invited invited to submit an extended version of their papers to the special edition of Springer Book “Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks” under the book series “Studies in Computational Intelligence (http://www.springer.com/series/7092).

Once again, thank you for your support.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Workshop on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks (RoboSense 2012)
http://www.coins-lab.org/events/RoboSense12/
**************************************************************************

Springer Special Edition

Best selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to the special edition of Springer Book “Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks” under the book series “Studies in Computational Intelligence”.

Overview

Wireless connected robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia, and industry working in to both robotics and sensor networks areas to present and discuss recent advances and innovative ideas pertaining to these fields. Papers dealing with the coupling between robots and sensor networks are particularly sought. The workshop also looks for contributions about cyber-physical applications based on robotics and sensor networks, such as intelligent transportation systems, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc.

The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in these areas. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussions among the attendees. Statements which are innovative, controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought.
