Call for Papers
IFAC 7th Symposium on Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles IAV 2010
September 6-8, 2010, Lecce, Italy

The Symposium will consider generic methodologies and techniques
applicable to intelligent autonomous vehicles. These include mobile
robots on land, at sea, in air or in space, multi vehicle systems, and
networks of autonomous vehicles. It will address sensing, sensor
integration and perception, architectures, planning, mission and motion
control, navigation and cooperative navigation techniques, SLAM,
teleoperation, human and vehicle interaction, and practical
applications. The focus of the Symposium will span from intelligent
vehicle control to auxiliary systems support. The Symposium will afford
participants a rare opportunity to attend lectures and paper
presentations and to engage in discussions on topics  pertaining to
autonomous intelligent vehicles in general. As such, it departs from
other events that focus on specific kinds of vehicles. This in turn will
foster the cross-fertilization of ideas among different application
areas. Key topics will include (but not be limited to):

# Architectures for intelligent autonomous systems including teams of
autonomous vehicles;

# Control, Guidance, and Navigation of autonomous robots (indoors,
outdoors, land, air, space, marine): modeling and control, trajectory
tracking and path following, navigation systems, planning, recognition,
localization, map building, SLAM;

# Sensors and sensor integration in autonomous robots;

# Intelligent transportation systems;

# Service robotics, domestic robotics, rehabilitation and biomedical
robotics, field robotics, entertainment robotics, ocean exploration robots;

# Redundant robots;

# Multiple Vehicle Systems and Networks of Autonomous Vehicles:
cooperative navigation and control of homogeneous and heterogeneous
teams, cooperative control under severe communication constraints,
cooperative perception, communications.

Invited Session Proposals (one to two pages long) should be sent by
email to the IPC chairs (giovanni.indiveri at unisalento.it).
Each proposal should specify: session title, outline, scope, organizers 
affiliation, postal, and email address. The proposal should include a 
list of candidate papers (4 to 6) to be hosted with abstract, authors' 
names, affiliations, addresses, and e-mail addresses of the 
corresponding authors. The Invited Session proposals will be evaluated 
by the IPC. Invited Session papers will be peer reviewed and handled as 
regular submissions.

At least one author (full registration) for each paper will be requested
to register for the Symposium.

COPYRIGHT CONDITIONS The material submitted for presentation at an IFAC
meeting (Congress, Symposium, Conference, Workshop) must be original,
not published or being considered elsewhere. All papers accepted for
presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be
distributed to the participants. Papers duly presented at the IFAC
Congress, Symposia, Conferences and Workshops will be hosted on-line on
the IFAC- PapersOnLine.net website. The presented papers will be further
screened for possible publication in the IFAC Journals (Automatica,
Control Engineering Practice, Annual Reviews in Control, Journal of
Process Control , Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence,
and Mechatronics), or in IFAC affiliated journals. All papers presented
will be recorded as an IFAC Publication. Copyright of material presented
at an IFAC meeting is held by IFAC. Authors will be required to transfer
copyrights electronically. The IFAC Journals and, after these, IFAC
affiliated journals have priority access to all contributions presented.
However, if the author is not contacted by an editor of these journals,
within three months after the meeting, he/she is free to submit an
expanded version of the presented material for journal publication
elsewhere. In this case, the paper must carry a reference to the IFAC
meeting where it was originally presented and, if the paper has appeared
on the website www.IFAC-PapersOnLine.net, also a reference to this
publication.
