This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of an international seminar on Plan-Based Control of Robotic Agents held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany in October 2001.The 16 full papers included in the book have gone through two rounds of reviewing and revision and present an up-to-date survey of the state of the art on research in plan-based control of robotic agents. Besides general issues from robotics, agent systems, control, AI planning, algorithmic learning, and problem solving are plan-based high-level control, probabilistic reasoning, plan transformation, and resource adaptive reasoning key topics addressed in the papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Information Processing in Sensor Networks, IPSN 2003, held in Palo Alto, CA, USA, in April 2003. The 23 revised full papers and 21 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 73 submissions. Among the topics addressed are wireless sensor networks, query processing, decentralized sensor platforms, distributed databases, distributed group management, sensor network design, collaborative signal processing, adhoc sensor networks, distributed algorithms, distributed sensor network control, sensor network resource management, data service middleware, random sensor networks, mobile agents, target tracking, sensor network protocols, large scale sensor networks, and multicast.
