Awards and Travel Grants of IEEE SSRR2011
for Outrageous Visions for Computing in Rescue Robotics Track

co-sponsored by the Computing Community Consortium
Safety Security Rescue Robotics 2011

As robots become more agile, the software to guide and support SSRR missions becomes more critical. SSRR 2011 is soliciting short papers (no more that 4 pages, same formatting as regular papers) that present long-term challenges or new ideas outside of the mainstream in computing for rescue robots. Papers are encouraged to be speculative and push the envelope of the state of the art in robots for disasters. All accepted papers will be posted to the CCC and the IEEE TC on SSRR websites as well as appear in the proceedings and IEEE Xplore database.

The IEEE Technical Committee on SSRR co-chairs will review the submissions and serve as judges for two types of awards. The top three papers overall will receive trophies. The top three papers from the United States will receive travel grants ($1000, $750, and $500) from the Computing Community Consortium. Papers will be judged by how well they identify and justify computing challenges and the quality of the presentation at the conference.

Papers should be sent directly to Dr. Itsuki Noda <I.Noda@aist.go.jp> by midnight July 10, 2011.
