International Workshop
Unmanned and Swarming Conference:
Research Challenges for Future Unmanned Systems
and Autonomous
Swarming
October
10-11, 2018, Bordeaux, France
A conference supported by the Aetos
drone cluster
(http://www.aetos-aquitaine.fr/)
in Conjunction with UAV
Show (https://uavshow.com/en), Europe’s largest professional drone airshow and
exhibition, Mérignac (Bordeaux), France

For any
information, please send an e-mail to Pr. Serge Chaumette at serge.chaumette@labri.fr including [ Unmanned and
Swarming Conference ] in the subject line.
This conference is
the fith in the series on Unmanned Systems and
Autonomous Swarming with applications to real-world scenarios. It focuses on
unmanned systems (air, ground sea, underwater, etc.),
supportive technologies, software environments and the associated key research
issues. The aim is to bring together the community and to provide an
opportunity to share experiences and views of current trends and activities in
the domain.
In addition to
regular papers, the workshop highlights student posters and demonstrations that
showcase real-world applications of US. Graduate and Undergraduate students are
especially welcome to present posters.

For paper submission please connect to easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=unmannedandswarmingc
Papers of approximately 4 to 6 pages including figures and references, or abstracts of 1 page, can be submitted electronically, through the EasyChair conference management system. Authors are suggested to use the standard IEEE conference proceedings templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX format on A4 size pages that can be found at IEEE website.
All papers, posters, and demos
will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. It is
essential to identify what was accomplished, explain its significance, and
include a comparison with previous work. Authors should make every effort so
that the technical content of their papers is understandable by a broad
audience. All accepted papers will be
presented at the conference. The proceedings will be made available online and
will be provided as a USB memory key. There will be a printed book of abstracts
of all papers for attendees to carry with them at the conference. The
organizers are currently working on the possibility to have a special issue of
a magazine for selected papers.
