ISSNIP Workshop - Machine Learning for Signal Processing

ISSNIP 2004 Workshop on
Unmanned Vehicle Systems

Call for Papers

This workshop aims to bring together Australian and overseas researchers in the area of autonomous and Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS). These include tele-operated, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous vehicles and networks of such systems in the air, land, and maritime environments. The focus of the workshop will be on the theories, techniques, algorithms, and technologies and the analysis applied to evaluate them.

The workshop will be held together with the International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing, which is organised by The University of Melbourne, sponsored by CENDSS, Melbourne and the CRC for Sensor Signal and Information Processing CSSIP, Melbourne and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. The workshop will feature technical presentations and invited talks held over two days. Papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following areas:

	Autonomous Navigation: motion detection & estimation, stereovision, obstacle avoidance & tracking, topographic processing, map generation, visualisation, trajectory mapping, mission planning, optic flow techniques, biomimetic & insect navigation, homing & cognitive mapping, collision avoidance, advanced guidance & control techniques
	Sensors, Sensing, & Perception: sensor miniaturisation, sensor arrays, image/sensor registration, feature & pattern recognition/representation, automatic target detection & recognition, multi-aspect image processing, data association, multi-sensor fusion, advanced signal processing, parameter estimation, health & usage monitoring systems
	Behaviour & Learning: machine intelligence, machine learning, reinforcement learning adaptive learning, intelligent agents, cognitive modelling, neural networks, Bayesian networks, fuzzy logic, case reasoning, performance analysis & prediction, knowledge representation, hierarchal decomposition, probabilistic reasoning systems
	Multi-UVS Systems & Teaming: multi-agent systems, distributed systems, de-centralised control, self-organising systems, complex adaptive systems, network dynamics, emergent systems, resource management, multi-vehicle control, formation control, cooperative & competitive behaviour, team formation/separation, swarming & swarm intelligence

Workshop structure and attendance

The workshop is aimed to be a high communicative meeting place for researchers working on similar topics, but from different communities. In order to achieve these goals, the workshop will consist of a few invited talks, followed by short presentations and longer discussions. Workshop attendance will be limited to registered participants. The selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Submission Procedure

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers, up to six pages in length, using electronic submission via the conference web site online paper submission system. Papers will be fully refereed and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Visit Author Guidelines Page for author instructions. For more information contact Dr Anthony Finn.
