CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth International Workshop on
Synthetic Simulation and Robotics to Mitigate Earthquake Disaster
(SRMED 2007)
July 5th, 2007
Geogia Tech., Atlanta, USA
http://staff.aist.go.jp/i.noda/RoboCup/Event/RoboCup2007/SRMED2007/index.html
The goal of the Workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and
exchange of ideas among researchers aiming at the design and
implementation of simulation and robotic systems to support search and
rescue operations after catastrophic events in urban environments, in
particular in post-earthquake scenarios.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Integration of robotic agents in the simulator
- Rescue simulator extensions
- Test field and metric for rescue robotics
- Rescue robots design
- Evaluation methodology for rescue systems
- Autonomy in rescue robots
- Future development of competitions and standards
- Experiences with rescue projects
Please send a PDF file of a full paper within 6 pages (for a long
paper),
or an abstract with 1 page (for a short paper) by e-mail to
Itsuki Noda (srmed2007@m.aist.go.jp).
The deadline is June 15, 2007.
All papers are also presented by posters. Accepted authors should make
posters, and display one poster in the competition field
area.
We also plan to have a panel discussion about topics on
rescue-related technologies and research issues.
If you have topics for the discussion,
please e-mail to Itsuki Noda (srmed2007@m.aist.go.jp) in any
format.
