Workshops
The following workshops had ISLab members on their organizing comitees.
Lisbon Workshop on New Challenges for Cooperative Robotics (October 2008)
ICAPS'08 Multiagent Planning Workshop (September 2008)
AAMAS'08 Workshop on Formal Models and Methods for Multi-Robot Systems (May 2008)
ISLab workshop series
Since 2003 ISLab has been promoting one-day internal workshops where lab members present and discuss their current work with all lab members. These workshops not only allow everybody to know what everybody is doing, but also to foster practice on public presentations. Although the workshops are held on a very informal fashion, students often take this opportunity to rehearse conference and thesis defense presentations.
