OVERVIEW

The  10th  annual RoboCup  International  Symposium  will  be held  in
conjunction  with  RoboCup-2006.  The  Symposium  represents the  core
meeting for presentation and discussion of scientific contributions in
diverse  areas  related to  the  three  main  threads within  RoboCup:
Soccer, Rescue  and RoboCupJunior.  Its scope encompasses,  but is not
restricted to, research and  education activities within the fields of
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.

Following is a list of the major tracks of interest.
   * multiagent systems and multi-robot systems:
     -- learning and adaptive systems
     -- cooperation and collaboration
     -- teamwork and heterogeneous agents
     -- dynamic resource allocation
     -- adjustable autonomy
     -- planning, reasoning and modeling
     -- simulation
   * sensory processing and control:
     -- robot vision (including omnidirectional)
     -- image processing
     -- self-localization and navigation
     -- world modeling
     -- sensor-motor control
     -- distributed sensor networks
   * robot hardware and software:
     -- system integration and software engineering
     -- real-time and concurrent programming
     -- robot programming environments and languages
     -- embedded and mobile hardware
     -- mobile robots and humanoids
     -- new devices and materials for robots
   * human-robot interaction:
     -- visualization
     -- speech synthesis and natural language generation
     -- human-robot interfaces
   * applications:
     -- disaster rescue information systems
     -- search and rescue robots
     -- service robots
     -- robots at home
   * education and edutainment:
     -- AI, robotics and science education
     -- educational robotics
     -- computer and robotic entertainment



SUBMISSION

We solicit  submissions of papers reporting on  high quality, original
work  with  relevance  to  the  areas described  above.   The  RoboCup
International Symposium includes, but  is not limited to, these areas.
Due to its interdisciplinary nature and the exploration of various and
intimate connections of theory and  practice across a wide spectrum of
different  fields, the  symposium offers  an excellent  opportunity to
introduce  new  techniques  to  various scientific  disciplines.   The
experimental,  interactive  and  benchmark  character of  the  RoboCup
initiative  creates the  opportunity  to present,  learn and  evaluate
novel ideas  and approaches with significant  potential. If promising,
they are then  rapidly adopted and field-tested by  a large (and still
strongly  growing) community.  In  particular, we  would like  to urge
also people  not actively  participating in a  RoboCup team  to submit
their  work on  above or  related  topics, as  the RoboCup  initiative
provides a uniquely powerful, effective and visible platform for rapid
evaluation   and   dissemination    of   successful   scientific   and
technological  approaches. The introduction  of RoboCup at Home,  new for
2006,  provides   additional  opportunity  to  expand   the  areas  of
discussion at the Symposium.

Both  papers describing  real-world research  and papers  dealing with
strong  theoretical  results  are  welcome, as  well  as  combinations
thereof.  We  also encourage  the submission of  high-quality overview
articles  for any  field  related  to the  general  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 are  automatically entered  in  the selection
process for the RoboCup "Scientific Challenge Award", which recognizes
outstanding  research within  a  field  related to  the  scope of  the
Symposium.


SUBMISSION FORMAT and INSTRUCTIONS

Submitted  papers  should follow  the  Springer  LNAI  format and  are
limited to 12 pages. Instructions for formatting can be found at:
   http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Papers  will be submitted  electronically via  ConfMaster and  will be
blind-reviewed.  Instructions on  the  electronics submission  process
will be published on the symposium website.
The  electronic submission  process requires  a PDF  file of  the full
paper,  and the  separate submission  of an  abstract.



IMPORTANT DATES

January 26, 2006  Submission of electronic Abstracts
January 30, 2006  Submission of full papers
March 15          Notification of acceptance
April 15          Camera-ready copies due
June 14-18        RoboCup-2006
June 19-20        RoboCup International Symposium
