Abstract Submission
To submit your abstract/s, just complete the submission
questionnaire on this page.
The submission deadline is 30 September 2014.
The RIN is calling for abstracts in the following subject areas:
The future of indoor positioning - technological
and societal challenges
This theme will address technology, privacy,
and security developments for smartphones and other consumer positioning
systems. Possible topics include: infrastructure-based or infrastructure-free
positioning systems, opportunistic positioning, simultaneous localisation and
mapping (SLAM), cooperative positioning, encryption, authentication and
anonymity developments.
Navigation under threat - security and resilience
This theme will cover current and
emerging threats such as space weather, interference, jamming, spoofing and
cyber attack, and mitigations including hardening GNSS receivers and deployment
of integrated solutions using multiple sensors and technologies which do not
share common vulnerabilities.
Autonomy in transport systems
This theme invites papers on a broad range of
topics, including navigation algorithms/systems, new hardware developments,
sensor fusion, control theory, deployment of new technology in new domains,
cooperative operations between multiple platforms. Papers on further aspects
such as the security, legality and ethics of autonomous platforms will also be
considered.
Multi-sensor integration
This theme will focus on new technological
research and applications based on multi-sensor solutions which integrate
together both GNSS and non-GNSS positioning, to meet the navigation
requirements. Typical topics could include: advances in inertial sensor
technology and processing, terrestrial radio positioning systems, signals of
opportunity, visual aiding and integration, terrain and other environmental
aiding, developments in integration algorithms, adaptive and flexible
multi-model positioning.
Quantum and new technologies
There is growing interest in the applications
of new and advanced physics, materials and mathematical techniques based on
quantum technology, cold atom research and relativity which have the potential
to revolutionise the technology of positioning and navigation over the next 20
years. This theme will investigate the state-of-the-art in these developments,
what navigation systems will look like in the future, with what sort of
performance, and what new applications we envisage.
Navigation Now - emerging trends and current challenges
This theme captures the current picture of
navigating today, the challenges faced, the identification of emerging trends
and the development of new technology. This theme covers all navigation systems
and users, whether driving a car, navigating a ship, flying a plane or
navigating on foot - any and all approaches for navigation can be discussed.
Multi-Constellation GNSS
This theme will consider status updates and plans
of the core systems and augmentations, and in particular the methods and
benefits of combining systems together in multi-constellation GNSS. The related
issues of compatibility, interoperability and service performance will also be
covered.
