These special sessions are part of the 8th International Conference on Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics (ICINCO 2011 - http://www.icinco.org/), which is sponsored by INSTICC, organized in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), Euromicro and the ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (ACM SIGART) and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Robotics& Automation Society (IEEE RAS). INSTICC is member of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). DVET ICINCO will be held next summer in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, on July 28 - 31.
Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTe Press Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/).
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
Kind regards, Marina Carvalho ICINCO Secretariat

Special Session on Human-Robot Cooperation - HRC 2011
In the Human-Robot Cooperation scenario, the traditional idea of a robot performing "pre-programmed action" will change drastically, in that the robot co-worker interacts with the human worker towards achieving a common goal. Here, the environment is much less structured than in the classical setting, and the human worker is supposed to "program" the robot interactively and intuitively as the work unfolds. This means that the robotic systems require some basic autonomy: they must be able to handle the information about the environment and the human user, and they must be programmable "on-the-job" through a natural and very intuitive user interface. Such an interface should be based on the robot's recognition of user instructions. This implies the use of speech and natural language interfaces, vision systems for object or user detection/recognition, gesture and gaze identification, and the utilization of several physical interaction devices (force, touch).

Special Session on Manufacturing Simulation and Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2011
Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering dealing with the optimization of complex processes or systems, well related to business-oriented disciplines such as Operations Management. Industrial engineers use computer simulation (especially discrete event simulation), along with extensive mathematical tools and modeling and computational methods for system analysis, evaluation, and optimization. Industrial simulation can help to identify inefficiencies and examine how these may be addressed. With the integration of artificial intelligence, agents and other modeling techniques, simulation has become an effective and appropriate decision support tool in industry. The MSIE special session focuses on simulation applications for the factory of the future (e.g. transformable factories, networked factories, learning factories, digital factories) in application areas such as Automotive Industries, Aerospace, CAD/CAM/CAE, Defense Electronics, Simulation in Industrial Design, In! dustrial and Process Simulation, Supply Chain, Power Plants, etc. The MSIE special session invites quality papers describing original work including research ideas, case-studies and new findings on methodological and technological aspects related to Manufacturing Simulation and Industrial Engineering, in particular papers describing methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.

Special Session on Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation - ABMS 2011
Agent-based modeling and simulation involves computational models for simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents (both individual or collective entities such as organizations or groups) in order to understand complex phenomena. It may combine elements of decision theory, distributed systems, computational sociology, multi-agent systems, robotics, and evolutionary programming. There are many approaches to intelligent software agent development, ranging from reactive agents to deliberative agents, with different levels of efficiency and effectiveness. Agent-based models have been used since the mid-1990s to solve a variety of business and technology problems. Examples of applications include supply chain optimization and logistics, modeling of consumer behavior, social network effects, portfolio management or traffic congestion. The ABMS special session invites quality papers describing original work including research ideas, case-studies and new findings on methodological and technological aspects related to agent-based modeling and simulation, in particular papers describing methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.
ABMS Chair: Joaquim Filipe, Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal\INSTICC, Portugal
Special Session on Mobile Robots and Autonomous Systems - MORAS 2011
The area of Mobile Robotics is a highly dynamic and inspiring field, in the crossroads of several research areas, including: - Autonomous Navigation and Locomotion - Learning and Optimization of Motion Control - Dynamic Sensing and Perception for Autonomous Robots - Design and Control of Novel Mechanisms - Underwater Robotics - Field Robotics - Rehabilitation and Medical Robotics The MORAS special session invites quality papers describing original work including research ideas, case-studies and new findings on methodological and technological aspects related to mobile robots and autonomous systems, in particular papers describing methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.
MORAS Chair: Fumiya Iida, Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Special Session on Intelligent Control and Mechatronics - ICM 2011
Mechatronic systems engineering refers usually to the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical and electronics components. Many topics usually found in control theory and practice may arise as research topics in the area of Intelligent Control and Mechatronics, including: - computational intelligence approaches, including neuro-fuzzy control of nonlinear electromechanical systems; - industrial applications of control engineering, in general, and robotic systems in particular; - Position, kinematical and dynamic force analysis of robot manipulators; - Stability, robustness and other issues in dynamic systems; - adaptive control, self-tuning regulators, direct and indirect control; - intelligent control of vehicle systems. The ICM special session invites quality papers describing original work including research ideas, case-studies and new findings on methodological and technological aspects related to intelligent control and mechatronics, in particular papers describing methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.
