*First Call For Works-In-Progress*
----------------------------------
*International Conference on Social Robotics (ICSR) 2011*
November 24-25, 2011, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
http://www.icsr2011.org

The International Conference on Social Robotics brings researchers and practitioners together to report on and discuss the state-of-the-art research in the field of social robotics. The conference focuses particularly on social interaction between humans and robots, the integration of robots into our society, and the design of next generation social robot interfaces and systems.

The theme of the 2011 conference is "Alive!" It expresses the vitality of the social robotics research, paying particular attention to the development of robots that appear increasingly social -- the point that people perceive them to be alive. The conference aims to foster discussion on the development of computational models, robotic embodiments, and behavior that enable robots to act socially and the impact that social robots have on people and their social and physical environment.

The *Works-In-Progress* track welcomes research contributions in early stages of development. The four-page contributions will be made available to the attendees of the conference in the conference USB drive, but will not be archived, thus, allowing authors to maintain the copyright of their work until full publication. The WIP presentations will be made in the form of brief talks and optionally as poster presentations. 

*Keynote Speakers*
------------------
Dr. Tomotaka Takahashi, /Robot Designer and Professor/
Tomotaka Takahashi creates, designs, and invents unique and original humanoids (Ropid, FT, Chroino, Neon). His passion for the cutting edge in robotics brings him into collaborations with other leaders in the field, researchers and corporations.

Mr. Ken MacLeod, /Science Fiction Writer/
Ken MacLeod is the multiple award-winning author of many science fiction novels, including the "Fall Revolution" quartet (collected in the twin omnibuses "Fractions and Divisions"), the "Engines of Light" trilogy (Cosmonaut Keep, Dark Light, and Engine City), and several stand-alone novels including "Newton's Wake", "Learning the World", and the recent "The Restoration Game". Born on the Scottish isle of Skye, he lives in Edinburgh.
