Engineering Your academic Career
by Junkins, John 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Colleagues: I call to your attention a book I have recently published which gives to-the-point career development advice to engineering academics: How to succeed with a smile! It is especially targeted on young to mid-career faculty and those considering an academic career. Insight is provided on how to time share quality teaching, research, service and mentoring with a happy personal life. Valuable tips are provided in efficiently writing successful proposals and dealing with both success and failure in the publication & proposal review process. Senior faculty will find fresh insights on how to optimize the quality of academic life. The advice I offer is drawn from lessons learned over my four decades on the faculties of the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and at Texas A&M, and in mentoring over 120 graduate students and 4 generations of PhD offspring. See reviews at: Engineering Your Academic Career<http://www.lulu.com/browse/search.php?fListingClass=0&fSearch=john+junkins>. This short book would be a great five hour read for any professor, but your un-tenured and mid-career faculty might find it especially useful. Let me know what you think. There are several funny footnotes, including one that lampoons UT in a cute way that you might find entertaining. Best regards, John [Description: Description:] John L.

26 Jan '12

[apologies for multiple postings, please note the changed date] ******************************************************************** Call for Papers RoboCup International Symposium 2012 Mexico City, Mexico June 24, 2012 http://www.robocup2012.org/ ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW The 16th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction with RoboCup 2012 (June 18-24). The Symposium represents the core meeting for presentation and discussion of scientific contributions to a variety of research areas related to all RoboCup divisions (RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue, RoboCup@Home, and RoboCupJunior). Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, research and educational activities within the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the symposium offers a unique venue for exploring various and intimate connections of theory and practice across a wide spectrum of research fields. The experimental, interactive, and benchmark character of the RoboCup initiative presents the opportunity to disseminate novel ideas and promising technologies, which are rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large (and still growing) community. SUBMISSION We solicit submissions of papers reporting on high-quality, original research with relevance to the areas mentioned below. All researchers working in these areas, even if not actively participating in RoboCup teams, are urged to submit their work. Both papers describing real-world research and papers reporting theoretical results, as well as combinations thereof, are welcome. We also encourage the submission of high-quality overview articles for any field related to the general scope of RoboCup. The proceedings of the RoboCup International Symposium are published and archived within the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Submitted papers are limited to 12 pages formatted according to the LNAI requirements (http://www.springer.com/series/1244) and must be electronically submitted through the symposium web site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=robocupsymposium2012 All contributions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers using a blind (but not double blind) review process. IMPORTANT DATES * Submission of full papers: March 2, 2012 * Notification to authors: April 15, 2012 * Submission of camera-ready copies: April 30, 2012 * RoboCup 2012 Symposium: June 24, 2012 SYMPOSIUM CO-CHAIRS * Xiaoping Chen, University of Science and Technology of China * Peter Stone, University of Texas at Austin * Luis Enrique Sucar, Nat.

ROS Packaging
by Brennan Ashton 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

As was brought up again on the Fedora Packaging list, ROS is still not part of Fedora due to some serious build structure issues. This is certainly not a one man packaging job, so I was interested in seeing if there are others interested in joining in? I know last time I built it on Fedora even just building not following the Fedora guidelines I had to apply various patches to deal with changes in boost. Thanks, Brennan Ashton
