Call for Papers
RoboCup International Symposium 2011
Istanbul, Turkey
July 5-11, 2011
http://www.robocup2011.org/
********************************************************************

OVERVIEW

The 15th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in
conjunction with RoboCup 2011. The Symposium represents the core meeting
for presentation and discussion of scientific contributions to a variety
of research areas related to all RoboCup divisions (RoboCupSoccer,
RoboCupRescue, RoboCup at Home, and RoboCupJunior). Its scope encompasses,
but is not restricted to, research and educational activities within the
fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.

Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the symposium offers a unique venue
for exploring various and intimate connections of theory and practice
across a wide spectrum of research fields. The experimental,
interactive, and benchmark character of the RoboCup initiative presents
the opportunity to disseminate novel ideas and promising technologies,
which are rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large (and still
growing) community.

SUBMISSION

We solicit submissions of papers reporting on high-quality, original
research with relevance to the areas mentioned below. All researchers
working in these areas, even if not actively participating in RoboCup
teams, are urged to submit their work. Both papers describing real-world
research and papers reporting theoretical results, as well as
combinations thereof, are welcome. We also encourage the submission of
high-quality overview articles for any field related to the general
scope of RoboCup.

The proceedings of the RoboCup International Symposium are published and
archived within the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI) series. Submitted papers are limited to 12 pages
formatted according to the LNAI requirements and must be electronically
submitted through the symposium web site. All contributions are
peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers using a blind review process.
