The 13th International Conference
on Intelligent Autonomous Systems - 2014 
              www.ias-13.org
(!! please check the new web site !!)
July 15-19, 2014, Padova and Venice, Italy 
Located at Università degli Studi di Padova, in Padova, and Telecom Future Centre in Venice
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. 

2. Locations
===============================
 The main sessions of the 13th IAS Conference and Workshops will be held in the historical city of Padova,  from July 15 to July 18, 2014, in one of the oldest universities in the world. 
The venue will be the Historical Main Hall of the University and the Padua Conference Center. Participants will enjoy a rich and exciting social program (e.g.  the IAS Banquet will be held at the nice ancient "Villa dei Vescovi", in the Hills around Padua). 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, during the Annual Venetian "Feast of the Redeemer". In the evening of Saturday July 19, we will embark all Participants of the Workshop in a boat, cruising the Laguna in front of San Marco Square, to dine and watch the fantastic Fire-works show.
The organizing committee invites you to submit high quality papers, propose a workshop, organize a tutorial, participate in the conference and enjoy the rich cultural environment, the exciting social events and the beautiful locations of Padova and Venice.
