This is the event to bring together the Scottish research community working the space of autonomous networked systems. This event will be held both in-person and online. The in-person meeting will be in the level 6 'creativity suite' @ James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow.
This edition of SANS is sponsored by SICSA.
The Scottish Autonomous Networked Systems (SANS) event is an opportunity to bring together researchers from different areas to share ideas and learn about ongoing work in relation to autonomous networked systems.
Topics can include:
If you would like to attend physically, please register on the Doodle.
There is no need to register if you would like to attend online. Information on how the seminar will be streamed is coming soon.
Following Scottish Government and University guidance, we ask participants displaying potential COVID-19 symptoms not to attend physically, and encourage participants to wear masks in indoor areas should they become busy. The University supports the Distance Aware scheme, and can provide appropriate lanyards and badges.
We strongly encourage participants to take a Lateral Flow Test (LFT) prior to the event; although the national testing programme has now finished, LFTs can be purchased from most major supermarkets and pharmacies.
The following is a tentative schedule for this edition of SANS.
Note that the call for talks, demos, and posters is currently open, feel free to get in touch here to share your ongoing work.
