Dear friends of ROBOCUP,

again I would like to draw your attention to a scientific symposium
namely the IAV 2016 - 9th IFAC Symposium on
Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles in Leipzig, Germany
29.06.2016 - 01.07.2016 in Messe Leipzig.

IMPORTANT DATA IN SHORT:

IFAC 9th Symposium on Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles IAV 2016,
June 29 - July 2016, Leipzig, Germany.
http://iav2016.inf.h-brs.de

Paper submission is open from papercept
http://ifac.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl#IAV16


Important Dates:
Submission of Draft Paper:     1 November 2015
Notification of Acceptance:   15 Feb 2016
Submission of Final Paper:    15 March 2016

Proposals for Invited Sessions are welcome and should be sent by email
to the IPC-chairs by November 15th 2015. More detailed instructions are
given below.

The proceedings of the Symposium will be published on-line on the
http://www.ifac-papersonline.net website.

All participants of IAV2106 also have free access to RoboCup 2016,
http://www.robocup2016.org/en/.

Especially note the following points please:

* we will organize joint events to the ROBOCUP community, e.g. like a 
fraternity
   evening with the major leagues to connect experienced
   researches to highly motivated youngsters in related fields.

* we will have at least one top keynote speaker from automobile
   industries and at least one more from academia. Topics covered will
   touch autonomous driving and the role of AI for this field.

* further we plan on a round table organized by the Deutsche
   Gesellschaft für Robotik to shed some light on current
   research and entrepreneurs topics in the area of robotics.

* we will offer a number of travel grants for senior woman PhD
   candidates or postdocs, please apply to the IAV staff.

* Leipzig is one of the largest cities in the former eastern
   part of Germany, with one of the oldest and most
   outstandingly designed new fair grounds. Many cultural sights
   relate to famous former inhabitants of the city like Bach,
   Mendelssohn or Goethe. In contrast to that also Porsche and
   BMW have close nearby production and test facilities.

* The city –and the fair ground especially- is very well
   connected to the rest of Germany may it be via plane, bullet
   train or car. You can reach Berlin or Dresden in slightly over
   an 1h, Frankfurt or Hamburg in less the 3h.

For details on paper submission, registration or alike please
check our website at

Note that the paper submission deadline is 1 November 2015.

In case of questions or doubts do not hesitate to contact our
staff IAV expert Marcel Zimmerling (marcel.zimmerling at h-brs.de)
or us in person.

We are looking forward to receive your paper(s) and to meet you
in person at IAV2016.

Best regards

          Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles Symposium (IAV2016)

                     http://iav2016.inf.h-brs.de/
                        June 29 - July 1, 2016
                          Leipzig, Germany

   Co-located with 20th anniversary of RoboCup 2016 world championships

:: Objectives and Scope

The symposium addresses topics in the field of Intelligent Autonomous
Vehicles (IAV). It aims at the presentation of methods and/or
innovative techniques to solve typical problems, to exemplify
successful test cases or to document operational applications.
Modalities extend from land, sea, air and reach as far as space.
Involved target systems have been designed as multi vehicle compounds,
swarms or networked platoons as well as individual carriers. The
systems may perform domestic, service, field, maritime, ocean, air or
even outer space related tasks.

The subjects of IAV expand from onboard control over interaction with
its environment up till auxiliary support systems.

:: Key topics include but are not limited to

- Navigation, Guidance and Control, e.g.
   motion control,
   controller design,
   modeling,
   stability analysis,
   trajectory tracking,
   path following and pose regulation.

- Sensing and Perception, e.g.
   sensors, including smart and networked sensors,
   integration of sensors,
   localization including SLAM,
   map building,
   recognition.

- Planning and Mission Control, e.g.
   local and global roadmap planning,
   task and motion planning,
   decision support systems,
   driver support systems,
   advanced driver assistance systems.

- Architectural Aspects of IAVs, e.g.
   for individual vehicles,
   for teams and swarms.

- Communication, Cooperation and Networking, e.g.
   multiple-vehicle systems,
   platoons and teams,
   vehicle to vehicle communication,
   operator or infrastructure communication,
   human-vehicle interaction.

- Applications, Execution and Use, e.g.
   transportation systems,
   land and ocean exploration,
   air and space applications,
   remote control,
   remote and local monitoring,
   tele-operation,
   fault detection, diagnosis and removal.
