2nd International Conference on Information and Automation will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 15-17 December 2006. A short introduction to ICIA2006 in pdf. The first ICIA (ICIA2005) was held successfully in Colombo, Sri Lanka in December 2005. |
Scope of the conference:
1. Technical advances in disaster management (Tsunami), Humanitarian demining, welfare, and rehabilitation: This includes disaster management techniques especially applied to rescue operations in Tsunami, landslides, earthquakes & floods, robots & sensors in landmine detection & removal, navigation of mobile robots in rugged terrain, robot manipulators and control, prosthetic devices, tele-operation & remote manipulation, robotics in physiotherapy etc. A panel discussion will be held to discuss the future needs and research trends. Topics covered: Sensing the earth, oceans, and atmosphere / Information processing, interpretation, and dissemination /
Environmental systems and risk analysis / Environmental management/ Engineering management / Robotic applications in DMWR /
Assistive robotics / Prosthetic devices / Tele-operation and remote manipulation in DMWR / AI and Computational Intelligence in
DMWR
2. Industrial Automation and modern civilization: This will try to discuss the latest developments in industrial automation. A panel discussion will be held to review the benefits of automation for developing countries and what we can learn from already industrialized countries.
Topics covered: Systems modeling and control / Mechatronics / Industrial and manufacturing automation / Industrial
informatics / Industrial robotics and control / Supply-chain management / Quality management / Testing and screening / System safety
/ Program and project management / integrated manufacturing and service systems / Intelligent transportation systems/ AI and
Computational intelligence in IAMS
3. A wired society and Tele-presence: A discussion on novel concepts in virtual reality, kansei
systems, and tele-presence in the context of a networked system. It is expected to cover novel
results as to how these technologies have revolutionized distributed production and marketing,
education, medicine and surgery, space travel, defense etc. A panel discussion will address
issues such as how developing countries could benefit from these technologies in the areas:
reaching global markets through e-commerce systems, telemedicine, remote education, egovernment
etc.
Topics covered: Wireless communications / Sensor Networks / Home security / Cyber infrastructure / Grid technology / Ecommerce
/ E-governance / Internet technology / AI and Computational Intelligence WSTP
4. Intelligent robots and man-machine co-existence: This will cover new developments in intelligent robots, their hardware, learning algorithms, sensory systems, and actuators. A panel discussion will clarify how these developments have helped to bring about positive transformations in the human society, future challenges in man-machine cooperation and coexistence, and opportunities for developing countries.
