--------------------------------------------------
**** NOTE -- submission deadline extended -- NOTE ****
The Workshop on Reasoning with Uncertainty in Robot Navigation will be
held as part of the Int. Joint Conference on Artificial Ingelligence.
Below is an excerpt from the call for papers. Please refer to the full
call for paper for details about the workshop and submission procedure.

Submission deadline : March 28, 1999
--------------------------------------------------
This workshop is devoted to discuss current topics in mobile robotics
and uncertainty. It will bring together researchers working in advanced
methods for dealing with sensor and movement uncertainty in mobile
robots. We especially welcome those who have ideas about how to extend
current theories to deal with more challenging environments, or those
who have competing approaches, e.g., landmark-based, behavioral, or
"topological" navigation. The workshop will provide an opportunity to
critically examine these various approaches, and to discuss their
strengths and weaknesses in various types of environments.
The workshop will interest all people working in mobile robotics, both
from academy and industry. It will also interest researchers working in
the area of uncertainty in AI, since it will offer them the possibility
to apply their techniques to real and challenging problems.
