Topics

The symposium areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

  • telematics methods
  • control through networks
  • control of networks
  • mobile sensor networks
  • tele-robotics
  • tele-operations
  • remote control

Background

topicsTelematics benefits from the tremendously increasing capabilities in modern telecommunication and information processing technologies to provide services at remote locations. This Symposium considers all aspects of telecommunication-based automation systems. The aim is to survey the state-of-the-art in telematics with emphasis on applications.

Thus advanced methods related to:

  • control technologies (remote control, networked control, supervisory control, distributed control)
  • communication technology (cooperative communication, Internet, wireless communication)
  • information processing (distributed information systems, embedded systems, augmented reality, security aspects)

are combined for remote applications such as tele-presence tele-operation.
