Bendy


The conference was successfully finished.
Thank you very much for your attendance.
See you in 2008 at IAS-10.



Scope

Autonomy and adaptivity are key aspects of truly intelligent artificial systems. New directions of research have recently emerged from the synergetic interaction of many fields, such as cognitive science, operations research, mathematics, robotics, mechanics, electronics, informatics, and economics. One key insight is that to realize both intelligence and autonomy, it is crucial to build real world devices and abstract principles of design from them. The goal of IAS-9 is to lay out new scientific ideas and design principles for artificial systems able to survive in nature and in our society. We expect the conference to stimulate novel research challenges as well as crazy ideas that eventually will lead to more intelligent and autonomous future robots and systems. The conference will cover both the applied as well as the theoretical aspects of intelligent autonomous systems. It will comprise invited talks as well as oral presentations.

Submission

Papers should describe original research (not published elsewhere). The papers, written on a single column on A4 paper, should not exceed 8 pages. A maximum of 2 extra pages are allowed by paying an additional fee of JPY 7,000 per each page.

All papers will be reviewed by an international program committee. Upon acceptance, the authors will be requested to prepare a camera-ready copy. All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings which will be published by IOS Press. So, please please follow the guidelines of IOS Press for formatting your papers (see camera ready instruction page).

The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in selected journals. Note that at least one full registration fee must accompany each final paper.

Submissions should be made electronically, either in postscript or PDF format.
