Call for Papers
RoboCup International Symposium 2012
Mexico City, Mexico
June 24, 2012
http://www.robocup2012.org/
********************************************************************

OVERVIEW

The 16th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in
conjunction with RoboCup 2012 (June 18-24). 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
(http://www.springer.com/series/1244)
and must be electronically submitted through the symposium web site:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=robocupsymposium2012

All contributions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers using a
blind (but not double blind) review process.
