Dear Colleagues, Could you please distribute this Journal Special Issue announcement? On behalf of the Guest Editors of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine (RAM) Special Issue, we would like to extend the invitation to send your original, unpublished contribution to the upcoming Special Issue devoted to Geometric Algorithms in Path Planning (deadline for contributions is December 1st 2007). The detailed Call for Papers as well as a short Color Ad featured in summer issue of RAM MAGAZINE are attached to this e-mail. With kind regards, Guest Editors M. Gavrilova R. Jarvis J. Cortes SPECIAL ISSUE Computational Geometry in Path Planning Paper submission deadline: December 1st, 2007 The goal of this Special Issue is to present unique aspects of the computational geometry and topology-based approaches to path planning algorithms. The issue strives to include practical applications of this research to robotics, manufacturing engineering, geographical information systems, mobile networks, environmental design, and other relevant scenarios. Special Issue Themes Original, high-quality contributions are invited to one of the following three Special Issue themes, devoted to computational geometry approaches to (i) exploration, navigation, and deployment in unknown environments, possibly with obstacles (ii) multi-robot systems, including cooperative motion planning, point to point reconfiguration, collision avoidance, map building, and self-localization (iii) perceptive and intelligent machines in complex environments, computational intelligence, mobile robots, and knowledge support The topics covered include theoretical and practical aspects of computational geometry approaches to path planning, including offset computation, visibility graphs, optimality, polygon overlaying, Voronoi diagrams, Delaunay triangulations, mapping, visualization and other related methods. Other applications of geometric and topology-based approaches to topics from the areas of path planning, robotics, real-time simulation, geographical information systems, navigation, solid modeling, CAD systems, VLSI design, collision detection and avoidance, networks, communications, and visualization are also welcome.
