INVITED TALKS TRACK Work-in-Progress Reports Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress reports introduce interesting, new, or on-going work, and the ALS audience provides valuable discussion and feedback. Presentations of student work are particularly welcome. A schedule of presentations will be posted at the conference. If you have work you'd like to share or a cool idea that's not quite ready for publication, send a short summary to alswips@usenix.org. WiPs presentations are strictly limited to five minutes each.

Closing Session Where's The Bot? Helen Greiner, iRobot Tired of having to do everything for your machines? Are you wondering what happened to those robots that you read about in Sci Fi books? The closing session will answer the question "where's the bots?" by looking at the state of the art in robotics today, in the near future, and beyond. Ms Greiner will highlight robots being built at iRobot that run Linux. iRobot Corporation, which Ms. Greiner co-founded when she was 23, has grown into a 100+ person organization with three locations. Under her leadership iRobot Corporation is pushing into consumer robot markets. In the past few years, she has concentrated on establishing IS Robotics as a world-class research organization by developing robots that push the state-of-the-art in mobility and intelligence. She holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.S. in Computer Science, both from MIT. Her 10 years of experience in robotic technology includes work at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
