Call for Papers
4th International Workshop on Self-Organised Construction (SOCO)
The SOCO workshop will be co-located with the 2nd IEEE International
Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS
2021) scheduled to take place Mon 27 September - Fri 1 October 2021
Washington, DC. Virtual participation is possible.
Summary
The SOCO workshop is on self-organised construction. We want to
cumulate, present, discuss, and advance new research results from theory
and practice, as well as novel scientific concepts and methodologies.
Originally inspired by nest construction in social insects, the general
concept relies on a large number of agents that coordinate their
construction efforts by prompting and reacting to local stimuli.
Recently, with the wake of robotic swarms and novel material processing
approaches—for instance 3D printing techniques and innovative deployment
of carbon fibres—self-organising construction is quickly gaining
tremendous transformative significance in the context of various design
and construction processes. The relevant research areas include:
autonomous construction, maintenance, supervision, and renovation of
buildings and infrastructure, as well as biological nest construction,
fundamental models and robotic control methods, structural engineering,
architectural design, industrial assembly, landscape architecture, and
city infrastructure. Our focus is on the design and management of
self-organising construction from a computational perspective. We
especially would like to encourage vision papers, presenting challenges
for the future of self-organised construction. To expand the scope,
compared to the previous editions of the workshop, we encourage
participation from industry and will include two invited industry talks.

Submissions
We welcome submissions of:
- Research papers, which should present novel ideas in the
cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, motivated by
problems from current practice or applied research.
- Experience Reports, which cover innovative implementations, novel
applications, interesting performance results and experience in applying
recent research advance to practical situations on any topics of interest.
- Vision Papers, which introduce ground-shaking, provocative, and even
controversial ideas; discuss long term perspectives and challenges;
focus on overlooked or underrepresented areas, and foster debate.
Papers in all three directions are limited to 6 pages, including images,
tables, and references.
We ask authors to ensure that their submissions comply with the high
standards in ingenuity and quality as expected by the ACSOS conference
in general. Submission to SOCO will be evaluated in a single-blind
reviewing process by the workshop committee members. Accepted papers
will be submitted for publication to ACSOS' workshop proceedings through
IEEE. All papers need to follow the IEEE DL format of the ACSOS
conference and follow the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style
guide.
We will do a high-quality international peer review in a rapid 2 week
form. Each paper will have at least 3 reviews.
Submit your contribution at SOCO 2021's EasyChair site.
