RESEARCH MEETING AND SCHOOL
ON
DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING BY MOBILE ROBOTS

The Research Meeting and School on Distributed Computing by Mobile Robots
takes place August 15-18, 2010 at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
Distributed robot computing is the study of complexity and computability
in systems where the computational entities themselves are capable of
movement within the spatial universe they inhabit. The field has
applications in areas as diverse as autonomous robots moving in a terrain,
software agents moving in a network, autonomous intelligent vehicles,
wireless mobile ad-hoc networks, and networks of mobile sensors.
The goal of the research meeting is to bring together researchers working
in this areas in order to exchange problems, ideas, techniques, and results.
The objective is to create a clearer picture of the state of the art in the
field, to identify outstanding open problems and research directions, and to
foster collaborative investigation of selected problems.
The event includes participation by graduate students and post-doctoral
fellows, who will attend it as a research school.
There will be lectures of a survey/tutorial nature, invited talks on
specific current research topics and open problems. The discussion and study
of these open problems will constitute integral part of the event.
In its dual nature of research meeting and research school we expect that
the event will expose graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to
important problems in this growing field.
Due to its particular nature, the number of participants is limited.
