CFP -- ICCR2017 International Conference on Cloud and Robotics (date limite : 23/10/2017)

       ICCR2017 International Conference on Cloud and Robotics
                 Nov. 22-23, Saint Quentin, France

The 4th edition of the International Conference on Cloud and Robotics
(ICCR 2017 - http://cloudrobotics.info) will be held on November 22-23
2017 in Saint-Quentin, France. The conference is co-located with the
industry exposition Robonumerique (http://www.robonumerique.fr).

The domain of cloud robotics aims to converge robots with computation,
storage and communication resources provided by the cloud. The cloud
may complement robotic resources in several ways, including
crowd-sourcing knowledge databases, context information, computational
offloading or data-intensive information processing for artificial
intelligence. As the challenges in this domain are multi-disciplinary,
the session aims at building a bridge between experts from academia
and industry working in different fields, such as robotics, machine
learning, artificial intelligence, software architecture, big data
analytics, Internet-of-Things and distributed cloud systems.

The conference is organizing two special sessions: one on the
integration of Internet-of-Things with robots (leading to the
so-called Internet of Robotic Things), as well as one industry
session.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to:

- Architectures and middleware solutions for cyber-physical systems,
  integrating the IoT, the cloud/edge with robots and other actuators
- Distributed sensing, planning and actuation
- Cloud-based control systems, possibly using deterministic wireless
  or wired networking
- Domain Specific Languages for cloud robotics and cyber-physical systems
- Software engineering practices for networked robots
- Tele-robotic systems
- Computational offloading and load balancing in robotics
- Multi-robot coordination and orchestration
- Self-adaptive cyber-physical and robotic systems
- Cloud-supported collective knowledge and parameter sharing between
  actuation systems
- Sensor fusion for improved control policies
- Transfer learning between tasks or across robotic systems
- Hands-on experiences and use cases in the fields of manufacturing,
  Industry 4.0, healthcare, active assisted living, logistics and
  transportation, security and surveillance, precision agriculture and
  others.

Submission

Three categories of submissions are sollicited:

- full papers, presenting research results, limited to 6 pages in
  2-column conference paper format
- application papers (short papers 2-4 pages), presenting lessons
  learnt during practical field trials and/or with commercial
  applications in the domain of cloud robotics and cyber-physical
  systems
- presentations, expressing industry viewpoints and requirements that
  may help in shaping future research agenda. Prospective presenters
  should submit a short abstract describing the content of their
  presentation

Formatting and Submission Instructions
