The RoboCup 2001 International Symposium
Call for Papers
=============================================================================
August 7 - 10, 2001
colocated with the International Joint Conference on AI, IJCAI-01
Seattle, USA
=============================================================================
Please visit: http://arti.vub.ac.be/RoboCupSym2001/
The RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction with
the RoboCup 2001 Competitions and Demonstrations as the core meeting
for the presentation of scientific contributions in areas of relevance
to RoboCup. Its scope is mainly within the fields of Artificial
Intelligence and Robotics with a broad range of areas of interest,
including:
* Sensor-Motor Control
* Vision and Image-Processing
* Self-localisation and Navigation
* Planning, Reasoning, and Modeling
* Learning and Adaptive Systems
* Multi-Agent Systems
* Multi-Robot Systems
* Co-operation and Collaboration
* Simulation and Visualisation
* Realtime and Concurrent Programming
* Embedded and Mobile Hardware
* Non-conventional actuation systems, especially artificial muscles
* Next generation sensors for robotics
* Mobile Robots and Humanoids
* Search and rescue robots
* Disaster rescue information systems
* Wireless Communication and Mobile Computing
* System integration and Software-Engineering
* Robotics and Science Education
* Computer and Robotic Entertainment
* Commentators, Speech Synthesis and Natural Language Generation
Submissions to the RoboCup International Symposium do not necessarily
need to be linked to an active participation in the RoboCup games and
competitions. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the RoboCup
International Symposium provides an excellent opportunity to introduce
and spread novel ideas and approaches into various scientific
disciplines. The experimental character of the RoboCup games gives in
addition the possibility to get novel ideas and approaches adopted and
field-tested by a constantly growing community. Papers describing
real-world research as well as papers dealing with strong theoretical
results are both welcome. We also encourage the submission of
high-quality overview articles for any field related to the scope of
RoboCup, especially the ones listed above.
The proceedings of RoboCup are published within the Springer
LNAI-series. All submissions to the International Symposium enter the
selection process for the RoboCup "Scientific Challenge Award", which
recognizes outstanding research within a field related to the scope of
RoboCup.
