<tt>Dear friends of ROBOCUP,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>I would like to draw your attention to a scientific
symposium </tt>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<tt><br>
</tt><tt>namely the IAV 2016 - 9th IFAC Symposium on</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles in Leipzig, Germany </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>29.06.2016 - 01.07.2016 in Messe Leipzig.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>It will a little bit precede the actual ROBOCUP 2016<br>
tournament and thus allows you to submit</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>an additional scientific paper </tt>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<tt>under open-access</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>in the IFAC-PapersOnLine series hosted on<br>
ScienceDirect (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sciencedirect.com">http://www.sciencedirect.com</a>).</tt><tt><br>
Special rates for students apply.<br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Observe though that the paper submission deadline </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>and also the notification of acceptance is<br>
MUCH earlier then the respective one for the</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>ROBOCUP symposium.</tt><tt><br>

Call for Papers for the IFAC<br>
Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles Symposium (IAV2016)<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iav2016.inf.h-brs.de/">http://iav2016.inf.h-brs.de/</a><br>
June 29 - July 1, 2016<br>
Leipzig, Germany<br>
<br>
Co-located with 20th anniversary of RoboCup 2016 world
championships <br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
:: Important Dates<br>
<br>
Paper submission: November 1, 2015 <br>
Acceptance notification: February 15, 2016<br>
Final paper submission: March 15, 2016<br>
<br>
<br>
:: Objectives and Scope<br>
<br>
The symposium addresses topics in the field of Intelligent
Autonomous<br>
Vehicles (IAV). It aims at the presentation of methods and/or<br>
innovative techniques to solve typical problems, to exemplify<br>
successful test cases or to document operational applications. <br>
Modalities extend from land, sea, air and reach as far as space.<br>
Involved target systems have been designed as multi vehicle
compounds,<br>
swarms or networked platoons as well as individual carriers. The<br>
systems may perform domestic, service, field, maritime, ocean, air
or<br>
even outer space related tasks.<br>
<br>
The subjects of IAV expand from onboard control over interaction
with<br>
its environment up till auxiliary support systems.<br>
<br>
:: Key topics include but are not limited to<br>
<br>
- Navigation, Guidance and Control, e.g.<br>
motion control,<br>
controller design,<br>
modeling,<br>
stability analysis,<br>
trajectory tracking,<br>
path following and pose regulation.<br>
<br>
- Sensing and Perception, e.g.<br>
sensors, including smart and networked sensors,<br>
integration of sensors,<br>
localization including SLAM,<br>
map building,<br>
recognition.<br>
<br>
- Planning and Mission Control, e.g.<br>
local and global roadmap planning,<br>
task and motion planning,<br>
decision support systems,<br>
driver support systems,<br>
advanced driver assistance systems.<br>
<br>
- Architectural Aspects of IAVs, e.g.<br>
for individual vehicles,<br>
for teams and swarms.<br>
<br>
- Communication, Cooperation and Networking, e.g.<br>
multiple-vehicle systems,<br>
platoons and teams,<br>
vehicle to vehicle communication,<br>
operator or infrastructure communication,<br>
human-vehicle interaction.<br>
<br>
- Applications, Execution and Use, e.g.<br>
transportation systems,<br>
land and ocean exploration,<br>
air and space applications,<br>
remote control,<br>
remote and local monitoring,<br>
tele-operation,<br>
fault detection, diagnosis and removal.<br>
