**************************************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Workshop on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks
(RoboSense 2013) http://www.coins-lab.org/events/RoboSense13/
In conjunction with the 4th International Conference on Ambient Systems,
Networks and Technologies (ANT-2013) in Nova Scotia, Canada, June 25-28,
2013.
**************************************************************************

Springer Special Edition

Best selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
papers to the special edition of Springer Book Cooperative Robots and
Sensor Networks under the book series Studies in Computational
Intelligence.

Overview

Wireless connected robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled
great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive
applications. Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate
research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these
two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features,
enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support
to each other.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
academia, and industry working in to both robotics and sensor networks areas
to present and discuss recent advances and innovative ideas pertaining to
these fields. Papers dealing with the coupling between robots and sensor
networks are particularly sought. The workshop also looks for contributions
about cyber-physical applications based on robotics and sensor networks,
such as intelligent transportation systems, healthcare monitoring,
industrial automation, etc.

The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas,
new research directions and to review current trends in these areas. The
workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage
discussions among the attendees. Statements which are innovative,
controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought.
