[robocup-rescue-s] SRMED

Dear all,

  We are organizing the following small workshop on rescue robot and
simulation. The main purpose of this workshop is for researchers both
on rescue robot and rescue simulation to exchange ideas and
technologies. Because both leagues of rescue robot and simulation
share a very specific and serious target, we should collaborate with
each other at the chance of RoboCup event. SRMED is a series of the
workshops for this purpose. Especially these years, we are facing
important phase to integrate both of activities because Virtual Robots
Competition is now on the road. We hope the workshop will push such
activities forward.

We look forward to your contribution on this workshop.
Don't hesitate contacting me should you have any questions.

                               CALL FOR PAPERS

                       Third International Workshop on

      Synthetic Simulation and Robotics to Mitigate Earthquake Disaster

                                 (SRMED 2006)

                         June 16th , 2006 (tentative)

                        Messe Bremen, Bremen, Germany

OBJECTIVE

The goal of the Workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of
ideas among researchers aiming at the design and implementation of simulation
and robotic systems to support search and rescue operations after catastrophic
events in urban environments, in particular in post-earthquake scenarios.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  - Integration of robotic agents in the simulator
  - Rescue simulator extensions
  - Test field and metric for rescue robotics
  - Rescue robots design
  - Evaluation methodology for rescue systems
  - Autonomy in rescue robots
  - Future development of competitions and standards
  - Experiences with rescue projects

PAPER SUBMISSION

Please send a PDF file of a full paper within 6 pages (for a long paper), or
an abstract with 1 page (for a short paper) by e-mail to

  Itsuki Noda (srmed2006@m.aist.go.jp)

The deadline is May 30, 2006

PROGRAM (tentative)
