Summer School on Cooperation of Robots and Sensor Networks
for Emergency Response
September 28 - October 2, 2014
Castle Ebernburg, Germany

====================================================================
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Description:
-----------
Heterogeneous networks of sensors and robotic vehicles open avenues for a class
of novel applications. Tasks ranging from environmental monitoring to user
support within emergency-response scenarios require fundamental and
multidisciplinary research, typically spanning computer science, electrical
engineering, and mechanical engineering topics in robotics, control,
communication, and middleware.
While the first two summer schools of this series concentrated on research
problems within these different domains, the focus of the third summer school
was on the combination of all involved areas in the context of real-world
scenarios. This fourth summer school is now devoted to the application to
emergency response scenarios. This is tackled by an array of devices ranging
from inexpensive, tiny, low power sensor nodes, through high-end data gathering
visual sensors and unmanned autonomous vehicles to resource rich and powerful
command stations. Such a heterogeneity in communication mechanisms, processing
and capabilities, and inherent mobility of the different devices constitutes a
so-called mixed-mode environment
Goals:
-----
This international summer school surveys research areas in the domain of
mixed-mode environments and their application for emergency response. It also
targets to identify novel opportunities and research directions. The lectures
will be held by renowned speakers from academia and industry.
The summer school will also provide an excellent opportunity to get in contact
with known researchers working in this field, to meet distinguished scholars,
and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the
future. Furthermore, it will give the participants the opportunity to gain
hands-on experience involving mobile rescue robots and wireless sensor
networks.
Participation:
-------------
The intended audience are young researchers and PhD students from universities
and industrial laboratories around the world. As the number of attendees is
limited, prospective participants should apply online providing a brief
description of their research.
The application deadline is 15 July 2014.
Applications will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis and
notifications will be sent accordingly.
The summer school registration fee is 400 Euro.
All rooms are shared between two people.
The summer school will take place in the historical Castle Ebernburg
http://www.gkmm.tu-darmstadt.de/summerschool/?q=node/4
The registration fee includes accommodation at Castle Ebernburg, all meals
(breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee breaks), several social events and all study
materials.
