The workshop will run as a Post-Conference<br>meeting in Venice, from July 18 evening, immediately following the<br>13th IAS Conference held in Padua, to give the opportunity to discuss<br>the future of the intelligent autonomous systems research field.<br><br>Starting on the evening of July 18, with an automatic piano concert,<br>at Benedetto Marcello Conservatory inside Palazzo Pisani, the Workshop<br>will take place on July 19 at the Telecom Future Center, in the core of<br>Venice, close to Rialto, and will include a full day of invited talks,<br>contributed presentations and posters, and will end with a social dinner<br>on a private boat in the San Mark basin to watch from the lagoon the<br>public fireworks for the Feast of the Redeemer. This is the most important<br>historical Venetian feast, dating back to 1577, to give thanks for the<br>end of a terrible plague. It is celebrated with an exceptional display<br>of fireworks that people watch from thousands of boats.<br><br>=====================================================<br>SUBMISSIONS<br>=====================================================<br><br>Contributions are solicited in the form of<br>* position papers that should present exciting and visionary ideas to<br> galvanize the research community and spur novel research directions.<br> A position paper must present an arguable opinion about an issue. The<br> goal of a position paper is to convince the audience of the validity<br> of the opinion expressed, without the need to present complete research<br> work and/or validated results. It is important to support the argument<br> with evidence to ensure the validity of the claims. The position paper<br> may be a short report and discussion of novel ideas, facts, situations,<br> methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic,<br> experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the topics of<br> IAS-13 Conference. The position papers will be presented as lightning<br> talks of 3-5 minutes.<br>* short surveys on a specific aspect of intelligent autonomous systems. Of<br> special interests are surveys that summarize the major contributions to<br> a key topic in intelligent autonomous systems, outlining the main ideas,<br> major results obtained, milestone papers, and open issues. Surveys that<br> outline connections with other areas of research are also welcome. A<br> survey paper should focus on a single topic, which can be broad (e.g.,<br> Ambient Intelligence), or narrow (e.g., multi-robot SLAM using only<br> range and bearings). The surveys will be presented as posters.<br><br>Positions papers (6-10 pages) and survey papers (10-12 pages) should<br>be prepared following the guidelines at<br><a href="http://www.ias-13.org/nrf-ias-2014-submission/">http://www.ias-13.org/nrf-ias-2014-submission/</a><br>and submitted through the EasyChair portal.<br><br>All accepted papers and posters will be included in the Workshop<br>Proceedings with an ISBN number, distributed on-site through CD-ROM or<br>USB Key. After the Venice meeting, a Special Issue of a peer-reviewed<br>international journal, celebrating the 20th anniversary of IAS-Society,<br>will be published. Authors of the best presentations and posters, and<br>the invited speakers, will be solicited to submit an extended version<br>of their contribution. All the submissions will be peer reviewed.<br><br>=====================================================<br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>=====================================================<br><br>Submission Deadline: Monday, May 5, 2014<br>Acceptance notification: Saturday, May 24, 2014<br>Camera ready copy: Saturday, June 21, 2014<br><br>Workshop Dates: Friday, July 18 evening, and Saturday, July 19, all day<br><br>=====================================================<br>INVITED SPEAKERS<br>=====================================================<br><br>Hajime Asama, The University of Tokyo, Japan<br>Ruediger Dilmann, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany<br>Frans Groen, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands<br>Sukhan Lee, Sungkyunkwan University, Korea<br>Lynne Parker, The University of Tennessee, USA<br> -- More will join<br><br>To learn about the 13th IAS (Padova, July 16--18, 2014) and<br>the IAS Workshops in Padova and Venice: July 15, 18, and 19,<br>2014 <a href="visithttp://www.ias-13.org/">visithttp://www.ias-13.org/</a><br><br>=====================================================<br>WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS:<br>=====================================================<br><br>Tamio Arai, Shibaura Inst. of Technology, Tokyo, Japan,<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <a href="mailto:arai-t@shibaura-it.ac.jp">arai-t@shibaura-it.ac.jp</a><br><br>Maria Gini, University of Minnesota, USA,<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><a href="mailto:gini@cs.umn.edu">gini@cs.umn.edu</a><br><br>Enrico Pagello, University of Padua, Italy,<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><a href="mailto:epv@dei.unipd.it">epv@dei.unipd.it</a><br><br><br><br>***************************************************<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------<br>Dr. Eng.
