12th Summer School on Image and Robotics (SSIR'12)

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

12th Summer School on Image and Robotics (SSIR'12)
June 25th to July 6th 2012

Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada, Baja California (CICESE)

Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

Web Site: http://www.image-and-robotics.org/SSIR-2012

Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada, Baja California (CICESE), The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA Rhône-Alpes), The French-Mexican Laboratory of Informatics and Automatic Control (LAFMIA), and the Mexican Network on Robotics and Mechatronics (RobMec) invite you to take part in the 12th Summer School on Image and Robotics (SSIR'12) to be held in Ensenada Baja California Mexico.

CICESE is one of the 27 research centers coordinated by Mexico’s National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT) and is a recognized scientific institution at a national and international level. It's main goal is to generate knowledge that may contribute to the solution of problems that affect Mexico’s social and economic environment. Its graduate programs rank among the best in the country, and some programs are leaders in Latin America.

SSIR'12 will be a 2 week-long residential summer school. The courses on this school are primarily aimed at last-year engineering, master and PhD students on image and robotics related programs abroad.

SSIR'12 will be hosted this year by the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada, Baja California,

This summer school is the twelve in the series organized in the framework of the very active cooperation between French and Mexican researchers and institutions developing computer science.

The courses include general and fundamental knowledge for robot control and perception system design. This includes scene identification and modeling, robot localization, pattern recognition, path planning and execution and robot physical interactions. The formation will be articulated along four principal subjects:

• Perception: image processing and computer vision.
• Algorithmics: motion generation, execution and control.
• Mobile robotics.
• Learning and Bayesian methods.

No prior high knowledge of robotics nor computer vision will be required. Participants will attend to general lectures and talks on more specialized research areas, making it possible to concretely cover both research and practical subjects. Workshop sessions has been introduced in the program to allow a higher degree of interaction between students and instructors. In workshops, voluntary students are invited to present the projects they are working on or they have already participated. Please check details for workshop proposal in the Summer School Web site.

The participation cost for the summer school are

• 
  
• Students: $4,000 mexican pesos (MXN)
• Academics (non students): $8,000 mexican pesos (MXN)
• Industrial: $10,000 mexican pesos (MXN)

This cost will cover:

The Summer School provides a good opportunity to learn an in-depth introduction into computational logic and its applications. The school is primarily intended for graduate students and researchers with interests in logical foundations of intelligent systems and related issues. The courses are conducted in English. The number of participants is limited.

Additionally, the participants will be joining LPAR 17, which will be held at the Hyatt hotel, Yogyakarta. LPAR is a prestigious international conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning.
School site

The school will take place in the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Jl. Kaliurang Km 14.5, Yogyakarta and the Hyatt hotel, Yogyakarta.
Application

Application is requested no later than 25 August 2010; please fill in the registration form and send to informatika@fti.uii.ac.id.

See Course Name and Abstract
Cultural Program

All students who join LPAR will have the tour program. This tour program will visit the Borobudur temple, the Prambanan temple, and City Sightseeing. Yogyakarta is a tourism destination in Indonesia. The city offers many interesting tourism objects.

Beside the tour program, such students will also join two dinners with the teachers and the participants of LPAR. The dinner will be held on 10 October 2010 at Warung Pecel Solo and 13 October 2010 at the Pring Sewu. It is big chance for the students to meet with LPAR participants, who are the great researchers from around the world.
Accommodations

The host organizes a hotel during the summer school. The hotel is in Yogyakarta city such that it makes the participants easy to reach some tourism places. Because of the distance, we provide bus as transportation from the hotel to the school site and the Hyatt hotel.

However, each participant may organize their accommodation and transportation by them selves.
