Heterogeneous networks of sensors and unmanned vehicles open avenues for a class of novel applications. Tasks ranging from environmental monitoring to user support within emergency-response scenarios require fundamental, multidisciplinary research, typically spanning Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering topics.
This summer school sets out to survey the state of the art in several highly important subareas of the above research domains. The lectures and tutorials will be held by top speakers from academia and industry.
August 18-22, 2008, Castle Ebernburg, Germany. For details, see http://www.gkmm.de/summerschool.

There’s a special session at AHS-2008: the NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (June 22-25, 2008, Noordwijk, The Netherlands) on “Evolutionary and Self-Organizing Sensors, Actuators and Processing Hardware” (ESOSAPH). Recent technology has witnessed the advent of cheap ubiquitous sensing, processing and actuating capabilities for isolated, distributed or collective robotic systems. These appear in the form of intelligent materials, nano-motors and -sensors, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), grid processors, Avogadro-scale digital circuits and similar structures. Established conventional AI computation paradigms do not harness the full potential of this new type of technological ability that includes dynamic reconfiguration, addition or removal of sensors, actuators or processing hardware. Classical AI paradigms are inadequate to deal with the requirements of (more…)
