The 13th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems - 2014

July 15-19, 2014, Padova and Venice, Italy

The University of Padova, Italy

CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
============================================

Recent results confirm that robots, machines and systems are rapidly achieving intelligence and autonomy, mastering increasing capabilities in mobility and manipulation, sensing and perception, reasoning and decision making. The Series of International Conferences on Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) founded in 1986 is one of the major events summarizing this trend. The aim of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems is to further witness the development of these technologies and to foster their adoptions in the industrial sector. 

The 13th IAS invites researchers, engineers and experts to submit high quality papers to disseminate, to share and to fruitfully discuss their last achievements and results. IAS will provide forum and workshops where participants could exchange their ideas and experiences in the research and industrial fields through high quality peer reviewed papers. 

After the successful IAS-12 Conference held in Korea with more than 300 participants, the 13th IAS will be held in Italy in July 2014. 

The main sessions of the 13th IAS Conference and Workshop will be held in the historical city of Padua,  from July 15 to July 18, 2014, in one of the oldest universities in the world.  The venue will be the beautiful Padua Conference Center and participants will enjoy an exciting social program. From the evening of July 18 till the evening of July 19 a Post-Conference Workshop celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Foundation of IAS-Society will be held in Venice city, at Telecom Italia Future Center, close to Rialto Bridge. On Saturday 19, Participants join a wonderful social event in the Special Fireworks Night of Venetian "Feast of the Redeemer".
