============================================
SCOPE
-----
The scope of this workshop targets the recent
overlap of the latest advances between both
autonomous systems, including robots, and new
network technologies. On one hand, autonomous
applications embedded in automatic environments
have rapidly expanded from classical industrial
ones to applications where different modular
devices, actuators and sensors interact closely
and on the other hand communication technologies
have also known a great growing development
related to sensor networks, ad-hoc networks,
wireless networks, etc. Healthcare and wellness
applications such as helping elderly people,
assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring
in a smart environment constitute some of the
potential scenarios of convergence between
robotic systems and network technologies.
These applications, which are based on high-level
commands and in order to accomplish some specific
tasks, reveal new challenges regarding mechanic
design, portability, acceptability, power
support, control theory, etc. In addition to
portability and low-power systems, which are
vital challenges that limit substantially any
successful robotic application, network paradigms
should also take into account issues related to
cost, scalability and security. This workshop
will highlight the overlapping of these two
domains of autonomous systems and
network technologies devoted for different
applications. Issues related to concepts, new
technologies, and protocols will elicit particular attention.
The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are
not limited to, the following topics:
- Autonomous manipulation using service robots
- Architecture and protocol for wireless based
sensor networks (energy efficiency, collision-free, low-power, etc.)
- Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields
- Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart
textile clothes and wearable robots applications
- Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics
- Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications
- Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition
- Applications of Autonomous Behavior
- Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems
- Assistive robotic technology
- Energy optimization of autonomous systems
- Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment
- Context awareness using sensor networks
- Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems
- Real-time network based structure using
sensors, actuators and transducers, etc.
All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed
and we will select papers based on their
originality, timeliness, significance, relevance
to the workshop. All accepted papers must be
presented and at least on author needs to
register for the paper to be included in the
workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should not
be under consideration for publication anywhere else.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
--------------------
The workshop accepts only novel, previously
unpublished papers. Prospective authors are
encouraged to submit a 5-page standard IEEE
conference style paper to this workshop
(including all text, figures, and references)
through EDAS submission system (All papers should
be submitted electronically through EDAS:
http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8714&track=9978.
(If any problem during submission is encountered,
please contact the workshop chair). One
additional page may be allowed but with additional publication fee.
Accepted papers must be presented at the
workshop. The presenter must register for the
workshop before the deadline for author
registration. Failure to register before the
deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of
the paper from the workshop proceedings and the
program. All papers selected for publication will
be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM proceedings and IEEE digital library.
