Workshop: International Workshop on Hybrid and Adaptive Systems for Real-time Robotic Vision and Control Venue: Massey University, Albany Campus, Auckland, New Zealand Paper Deadline: 31 August 2008 Workshop advertisement: http://www.massey.ac.nz/~nhreyes/Massey/Workshop/Workshop.htm The workshop is affiliated with ICONIP 2008 (15th International Conference on Neural Information Processing of the Asia-Pacific Neural Network Assembly), to be held at the Sky City Convention Centre in Auckland City, from Nov. 25-27, 2008. Therefore, registering for the workshop entitles participants to attend both the conference (in Auckland City) and the workshop (Massey University, Albany Campus). Here are some workshop details: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Control: Cooperative Control; Hybrid Intelligent Control; Adaptive Control; Robust Control; Networked Control System. * Vision: Real-time object recognition; Feature extraction; pattern recognition; Human-Computer Interaction; Tracking and Surveillance; Biometrics; Behaviour Recognition; Gesture Recognition; Applications. * Automation: Process Automation, Planning and scheduling; Nano-scale automation and assembly; Biomedical instrumentation; Modelling and Simulation * Robotics: Humanoid and mobile robotics; Search and Rescue; Bio-robotics; Tele-robotics; Mechanism design and applications Publication: Accepted papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (Springer-Verlag), and selected papers will be invited for publication in special issues of journals after the conference. Papers will have to be submitted through the same paper submission channel as ICONIP 08.
