<br>
The 2nd joint conference of AI & Robotics and the 4th RoboCup
IranOpen Symposium will be held in conjunction with RoboCup IranOpen
2012. The Symposium represents the core meeting for presentation and
discussion of scientific contributions in diverse areas related to the
main threads within Robotics, AI, RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue,
RoboCup@Home and RoboCupJunior.<br>
<br>
Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, research and education
activities within the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.<br>
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. <br>
<br>
To extend the Symposium beyond RoboCup activities it is jointly held
with the 2nd conference of AI & Robotics which will give researchers
from different disciplines of AI and Robotics to identify important new
trends and challenges in major subfields of Artificial Intelligence and
Mobile Robots<br>
<br>
The major topics include but not limited to the following:<br>
- Artificial Intelligence <br>
- cognitive modeling and human interaction <br>
- entertainment<br>
- knowledge representation, planning, modeling and reasoning<br>
- machine learning and data mining<br>
- multidisciplinary AI<br>

Submission:<br>
We solicit submissions of papers reporting on high-quality, original
research with relevance to the areas mentioned above. 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.<br>
Submitted papers must be in English and limited to 7 pages according to
the IEEE formatting and must be electronically submitted through the
electronic submission website. All submissions must include the entire
manuscript PDF file excluding the author(s) information section attached
with the entire manuscript doc or LaTeX sources including the author(s)
information section. All contributions are peer-reviewed by at least
three reviewers using a blind review process.<br>
