Summer School on Monitoring and Coordination Across Networked Autonomous 
Entities

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
----------------------

Description:
------------
Heterogeneous networks of sensors and unmanned vehicles open avenues for a 
class of novel applications. Tasks ranging from environmental monitoring to 
user support within emergency-response scenarios require fundamental, 
multidisciplinary research, typically spanning Computer Science, Electrical 
Engineering and Mechanical Engineering topics.

This summer school sets out to survey the state of the art in several highly 
important subareas of the above research domains. The lectures and tutorials 
will be held by top speakers from academia and industry.

The summer school will also provide a good opportunity to get to know other 
academic, industry and government researchers working in this field, to meet 
distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research 
collaborations in the future.

This 5-day event will feature a number of different activities like lectures, 
hands-on tutorials, reading sessions and social events. The summer school is 
organized by the Research Training Group "Cooperative, Adaptive and Responsive 
Monitoring in Mixed Mode Environments", funded by the German Research 
Foundation, DFG, under grant GRK 1362 and endorsed by the European Robotic 
Research Network (EURON) SIG on Cooperative Robotics.

Important Dates:
----------------
Application deadline: June 16, 2008
Notification of admittance: July 1, 2008
Summer school venue: August 18-22, 2008

Application:
------------
The intended main audience of the summer school are PhD students; participation 
is open to all qualified applicants, but the number of participants is limited, 
thus early application is strongly recommended. Participants will be selected 
based on work area, background and date of registration.

The registration fee (approx. EUR 400) includes accommodation at Castle 
Ebernburg, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee breaks), several social 
events and all study materials.
