[Om-announce] [Extended Deadline] CfP: NetRobiCS 2024 - INFOCOM workshop on Networked Robotics and Communication Systems

[Lorenzo Gigli]

Dear Colleagues,


We are excited to announce the Call for Papers for the 17th International Workshop on Networked Robotics and Communication Systems (NetRobiCS 2024), formerly known as WiSARN, scheduled to be held in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2024 on 20 May 2024.


NetRobiCS 2024 focuses on the pivotal role of communication and networking in the evolving field of robotic networks, which are revolutionizing industries, enhancing daily life, and exploring new frontiers on Earth and beyond. The workshop aims to foster the exchange of ideas and latest research in wireless ground, marine, and aerial robotic networks.


We invite original, unpublished contributions in areas including, but not limited to:

  *   Network protocols and communication technologies for robotic systems

  *   5G, 6G and satellite enabled robotic systems

  *   Communications and networking for swarm robotics

  *   Aerial, Terrestrial and Marine Drone Communications and Networks

  *   Infrastructure-to-robot and robot-to-robot communication

  *   Robotic motion control and swarm modeling and management

  *   Data management and processing in robotic systems

  *   Embedded AI and federated learning solutions in robotic systems

  *   AI-driven communication and computing in robotic systems

  *   Path planning, localization and navigation in robotic networks

  *   Cloud/fog/edge computing platforms for robotic systems

  *   Energy efficiency and endurance management in robotic networks

  *   Quality of service, security, and robustness issues in robotic networks

  *   Blockchain-enabled robotic systems

  *   Energy-efficient & real-time communication protocols in robotic networks

  *   Distributed control and management for robotic networks

  *   Autonomic & self-organizing coordination and communication in robotic networks

  *   Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots

  *   Novel applications of robotic networks


Workshop Features:

  *   Best Paper Award, with a prize sponsored by the TII


Submission Guidelines:

Papers must be formatted in the standard IEEE two-column format that is used by the INFOCOM 2024 main conference and must not exceed SIX pages in length (including references). All submitted papers will go through a peer review process, and all accepted papers which are presented by one of the authors at the workshop will be published in the IEEE INFOCOM 2024 proceedings and IEEE Xplore.
