--------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
International Symposium on Multi-Robot and Multi-Agent Systems (MRS 2017) 4-5 December 2017 University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA https://mrs2017.org/ * Registration is now open* General inquiries: mrs2...@laas.fr<mailto:mrs2...@laas.fr> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Symposium on Multi-Robot and Multi-Agent Systems (MRS) is a new, single-track conference to be inaugurated at the University of Southern California, USA on 4-5 December 2017. MRS is an initiative of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multi-Robot Systems (http://multirobotsystems.org/), and is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers who are in the field of multi-robot systems both directly and indirectly, to cross-fertilize ideas. Typically MRS research is spread across large conferences, and this makes it difficult for MRS researchers to keep up to date on new findings and meet others in the area. The intent of the conference is to bring those researchers together with a high-quality symposium to highlight the best in the field. We would like to see the top advances in multi-robot and multi-agent research represented at MRS 2017. The focus of the MRS conference is on all aspects of multi-robot and multi-agent systems. We envision papers from a broad range of topics in this area, ranging from design and analysis of algorithms to systems. All accepted papers will be presented within technical sessions. The program will also include inspiring keynote talks, tutorials, and a student poster session, in addition to social events to promote networking among peers. We have a very selective and high-quality technical program (acceptance rate of 24%). Accepted papers can be seen at: https://mrs2017.org/ IMPORTANT DATES 31 October 2017: Early registration closes 27 November 2017: Regular registration closes 4-5 December 2017: The inaugural MRS conference KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Ayanna Howard (Georgia Tech) Sonia MartÃnez (UC San Diego) Brian Sadler (Army Research Laboratory, USA) INVITED SPEAKERS Vijay Kumar (University of Pennsylvania, USA) Lynne Parker (University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA) Milind Tambe (USC, USA) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Conference Chair: Gaurav Sukhatme (USC) Junior Conference Chair: Nora Ayanian (USC) Finance Chair: M.
