Call for Papers   
      
   The Intelligent Systems Society (ISS) is a new organization formed to   
   give students the opportunity to increase their ability, knowledge and   
   talent in the field of Intelligent Systems. The society also aims to   
   promote research in the field of intelligent systems while creating   
   opportunities for researchers to showcase their original work and   
   network with other researchers having similar ideas.   
      
   As part of the ongoing launch activities, ISS is aiming to launch a new   
   peer reviewed periodical called the Intelligent Systems Society Journal   
   of Robotics Research.   
      
   Topics:   
      
   For the inaugural issue of the ISS Journal of Robotics Research authors   
   are encouraged to submit papers related to the following topics:   
      
   1.	Control.   
   2.	Modeling and simulation of robots and intelligent systems.   
   3.	Manipulation, grasping, and dexterous hands.   
   4.	Design of robotic mechanisms.   
   5.	Mathematical and computational issues in robotics.   
   6.	Intelligent robotic instrumentation and measurement.   
   7.	Vision and other non-contact sensors.   
   8.	Tactile and other contact sensing systems.   
   9.	Sensor integration, fusion, and perception.   
   10.	Mechatronics.   
   11.	Teleoperation and telerobotics.   
   12.	Robot motion planning, path and trajectory planning, localization   
   and navigation.

   20.	Advanced programming languages and software development   
   environments for robotics.   
   21.	Unmanned and autonomous aerial, underwater, space and ground   
   vehicles.   
      
   The above mentioned topics however are by no means the limits to which   
   the journal will be constrained.   
      
   Publication of Papers:   
   All accepted papers will be published in electronic form on a CD. These

   interest.   
      
   Submission of Papers:   
   Please submit the papers in double-column PDF (preferred) or postscript   
   format via email to isspapers@gmail.com. The cover page of the paper   
   should include the title; all authors' names, affiliations and   
   addresses; name of author to contact for correspondence; email address   
   and fax number of contact; up to 5 keywords to describe the paper.
