The 2nd Workshop on Distributed Algorithms for Low-Functional Robots
https://sites.google.com/view/wdalfr/

To be held in conjunction with ICDCN'21, Nara, Japan, Jan 5-8, 2021

=============================================

Studies about distributed coordination of low-functional robots have attracted a lot of attention in many research fields such as disaster recovery, nano-scale in-vivo robots, and so on. The goal of this workshop is to exchange and disseminate new ideas, techniques, and researches on low-functional robots and related topics in broad communities, and to foster new collaborations among researchers in many research fields.

We call for papers presenting original research in the areas of low-functional robots and related topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Mobile robots and mobile agents
- Population protocols and programmable matters
- Modular robots, nano-scale robots, and biological systems
- Mobile sensor networks and mobile ad-hoc networks
- Self-organizing and self-stabilizing systems
- Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms
