ACRA 2014

Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation 2014

Denny Oetomo (General Chair), and Chao Chen (Program Chair) and Vincent Crocher (Local Chair)

2-4 December, 2014
Melbourne, Australia

ISBN 978-0-9807404-5-5 ISSN 1448-2053

All full papers submitted to ACRA 2014 will undergo a peer-review process. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers who will give detailed comments. If the submission is accepted, the authors will submit a revised (“camera-ready”) version that takes into account this feedback. The review process is managed by the program chair of the conference.

All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other’s identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their manuscript.
