The objective of the Symposium is to disseminate knowledge of recent technological advances in the field, to be a focus for the current state of the art including identification of technology shortfalls and to provide a forum for discussion of new relevant ideas. TOPICS The Symposium will focus on topics that are related to the AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF UNDERWATER VEHICLES. These include but are not limited to : Sensors and Multi-Sensor Fusion Communications and Telemetry Navigation Imaging Techniques and Systems Modeling and Simulation Methods Mission Control and Software Architectures Energy Systems Autonomous Manipulation Vehicle Design and Control Launch and Recovery Techniques and Issues Multiple Cooperating Vehicles The Symposium will include a VIDEO PROCEEDINGS Session and visits to area technical attractions including the C. S. Draper Laboratories. ABSTRACTS Prospective authors should submit a proposed title and an abstract (300-500 words) with a cover sheet containing title author(s) names, addresses with one author named as the point of contact including phone and fax numbers. Since acceptance is by review of abstracts, it would be helpful if authors would describe the problem addressed solutions obtained and its importance to the subject of the conference.
