Call for Papers

Download the Full Call for Papers.

Prospective authors are invited to submit a 100-word abstract and a draft version of their paper for consideration for oral or poster presentation. All submissions will be considered by the technical program committee for either an oral presentation or a poster presentation. If an author only wishes his/her paper to be considered for the poster session, please indicate this during submission. All accepted submissions (including posters), require a full author registration. An author may register one paper or poster with his/her main registration and each additional accepted submission will cost an additional $150. Note: All authors need to have full registration to attend and present a paper, even if another coauthor has registered a shared paper as an additional submission.

Please indicate if submitting for NAECON Autonomy Grand Challenge or just the Autonomy Session (AES Focused Session), if appropriate. Acceptable format for final paper submission is: PDF (IEEE Xplore compatible PDF). Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, subject to advance registration of at least one of the listed authors, and presentation of the paper. Authors should obtain company and government clearances prior to submission of papers. IEEE copy right release forms are required with the final camera-ready paper. All papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee. They will be judged with respect to their quality, originality, and relevance. Nominations will be solicited for the D.W. Repperger Best Paper Award.
