EPIA'95 WORKSHOPS - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ROBOTICS AND VISION SYSTEMS WORKSHOP Seventh Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal October 3-6, 1995 (Under the auspices of the Portuguese Association for AI) INTRODUCTION Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Robotics and Vision Systems Workshop may last for either 1, 2 or 3 days, depending on the quantity and quality of submissions. APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ROBOTICS AND VISION SYSTEMS WORKSHOP During the last few years, Artificial Intelligence techniques have been successfully applied to a large number of problems in robotics and computer vision. This workshop aims to provide an overview of such applications specially featuring real prototypes and systems (e.g., robotic insects, autonomous mobile robots, etc.). The availability of demonstrations (robots, vision systems, videos and demonstration software) is highly appreciated and will be taken into account in assessing submissions. The workshop will be divided into two areas: paper presentations and system exhibitions, where prototypes related to the presentations will be demonstrated. The organization invites you to participate in the workshop via paper presentations and/or system demonstrations. EXHIBITIONS In order to illustrate and to support theoretical presentations the organization will provide adequate conditions (space and facilities) for exhibitions regarding the three workshops mentioned. These exhibitions can include software running systems (several platforms are available), video presentations (PAL-G VHS system), robotics systems (such as robotics insects, and autonomous robots), and posters. On the one hand, this space will allow the presentation of results and real-world applications of the research developed by our community and, on the other it will serve as a source of motivation to students and young researchers. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Authors are asked to submit five (5) copies of their papers to the submissions address by May 2, 95. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be mailed to the first (or designated) author on June 5, 95, and camera ready copies for inclusion in the workshop proceedings will be due on July 3, 95. Each copy of submitted papers should include a separate title page giving the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses (where available) of all authors, and a list of keywords identifying the subject area of the paper. Papers should be a maximum of 16 pages and printed on A4 paper in 12 point type with a maximum of 38 lines per page and 75 characters per line ( corresponding to LaTeX article style, 12 pt). Double sided submissions are preferred. Electronic or faxed submissions will not be accepted. Further inquiries should be addressed to the inquiries address. ATTENDANCE Each workshop will be limited to at most fifty people. In addition to presenters of papers and posters, there will be space for a limited number of other participants chosen on the basis of a one- to two-page research summary which should include a list of relevant publications, along with an electronic mail address if possible. A set of working notes will be available prior to the commencement of the workshops. Registration information will be available in June 1995. Please write for registration information to the inquiries address. DEADLINES ~~~~~~~~~ Papers submission: ................. May 2, 1995 Notification of acceptance: ........
