The scope of this workshop targets the growing

overlap between both autonomous systems, and the

future generation of network technologies

embedded in Internet of things or cloud computing. Indeed,

autonomous applications embedded in complex

configurations and dynamic environments have

rapidly expanded from classical ones to

applications where different modular devices, actuators and

sensors interact closely. This has impacted

considerably the control of a given system in a centralized

manner Current trends are to propose new

autonomic architecture schemes that manage and control

future networks within the so-called sky of

clouds and Internet of things. Healthcare and wellness

applications such as helping elderly people,

assisting dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a

smart environment constitute some of the

potential scenarios of convergence between robotic

systems and network technologies. These

applications, which are based on high-level commands and

in order to accomplish some specific tasks,

reveal new challenges regarding mechanic design,

portability, acceptability, power support,

control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power

systems, which are vital challenges that limit

substantially any successful robotic application, network

paradigms should also take into account issues

related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop

will highlight the overlapping of these two

domains of autonomous systems and network technologies

devoted for different applications. Issues

related to concepts, new technologies, and protocols will

elicit particular attention.

The workshop solicits papers addressing, but are

not limited to, the following topics:

- Autonomous manipulation using service robots

- Smart communications for Cloud Computing and Internet of things

- Architecture and protocol for wireless based sensor networks

- Virtual networks and distributed Agent Platform

- Pervasive communication in autonomous application fields

- Rehabilitation robotics, exoskeletons, smart

textile clothes and wearable robots applications

- Context-awareness and ubiquitous robotics

- Secure, scalable and low cost network paradigms applications

- Techniques of sensing, actuation and recognition

- Applications of Autonomous Behavior

- Design modeling and control of autonomous robotic systems

- Assistive robotic technology

- Energy optimization of autonomous systems

- Monitoring and security of autonomous systems in intelligent environment

- Context awareness using sensor networks

- Network based transmission architecture for controlling autonomous systems

- Real-time network based structure using

sensors, actuators and transducers, etc.

All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed

and we will select papers based on their originality,

timeliness, significance, and relevance to the

workshop. All accepted papers must be presented and

at least on author needs to register for the

paper to be included in the workshop proceedings.

Submitted papers should not be under

consideration for publication anywhere else.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

The workshop accepts only novel, previously

unpublished papers. Prospective authors are

encouraged to submit a 5-page standard IEEE

conference style paper to this workshop (including all

text, figures, and references) through EDAS

submission system

(<http://edas.info//N10873 > http://edas.info//N10873

). <http://www.edas.info).> (If any problem

during submission is encountered, please contact

the workshop chair). One additional page may be

allowed but with additional publication fee.

Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. The

presenter must register for the workshop before

the deadline for author registration. Failure to register

before the deadline will result in automatic

withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings

and the program. All papers selected for

publication will be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM

proceedings and IEEE digital library. For
