Call for Papers

Submission Format

The workshop welcomes extended abstracts (max 2 pgs) and short or position papers (max 4 pgs excluding references) in the same format as RSS (IEEE two column, PDF, template available here). Papers must be anonymized per RSS guidelines to enable double-blind peer review. Authors of accepted papers will be required to submit a PDF poster for a virtual poster session.

We are a non-archival workshop, meaning we also accept iterations on previous or ongoing work. We will host all papers and posters in a compendium on our website.
