    The Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) has issued a call for papers for the Navigation 2021 conference.

    The conference, which as of now will be held virtually Nov. 15-18, 2021, will bring together experts from industry, research institutions, government agencies and investors whose primary goal is to work together for a more navigable world, RIN said. Conference themes will include PNT systems and technology, robust PNT, PNT applications, animal and human navigation, and navigation in society.

    The November 2021 event will unite two established conferences: the International Navigation Conference and the European Navigation Conference.

    RIN is accepting papers in the following categories:

    • Peer-reviewed: Abstracts and, if accepted, papers will be peer reviewed and published to be indexed and searchable. Presentations will be invited in a parallel technical session at the conference.
    • Presentation: Abstracts will be reviewed and, if accepted, submitters will be invited to present their work in a parallel session at the conference.
    • Poster: Abstracts will be reviewed and, if accepted, posters will be displayed in the exhibition hall. RIN plans to encourage delegate interaction through poster presentations during the networking sessions.

    The best peer-reviewed papers will be invited to submit for consideration to be published in the Journal of Navigation, RIN added.

    Navigation 2021 will take place as a virtual conference. According to RIN, it will review the situation in 2021 and if possible run an in-person element to compliment the conference.

    Registration for INC2018 open until Nov. 15

    Registration for the International Navigation Conference 2018 (INC2018), taking place Nov. 12-15 at the Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel in Bristol, England, will be open until Nov. 15.

    The conference, sponsored by the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN), is a premier forum for the presentation of research and advances in navigation. The theme of INC2018 is Navigation Challenges and Societal Benefits.”

    According to RIN, INC2018 will offer a unique format of multiple keynotes throughout the three days. The sessions and themes will address key navigation topics, including cognition in navigation; human factors in navigation systems; connected autonomous vehicles; innovations in accuracy and indoor navigation, innovations in resilient positioning, navigation and timing; mapping, imaging and augmented reality; and progress in quantum.

    This year’s INC will also feature a one-day symposium covering topics related to cognitive navigation. According to RIN, cognitive navigation is distinguished from other kinds of navigation methods/technology by the dependence on some type of representation of the to-be-navigated space. The goal of the symposium is to bring academics and industry experts together to facilitate the development of our understanding of and design for cognitive navigators, so that buildings and technology can work in a seamless way with human psychology.
