[robocup-worldwide] Call for Participation to RoboCup Games @ PRIMA 2009

[NODA Itsuki]

Dear RoboCuppers,

I like remind you about RoboCup Games @ PRIMA 2009.
This time, we will have only simulation leagues (soccer and rescue).
But, PRIMA 2009 is an international conference on intelligent agents and 
multiagents systems.  So, we can appeal our technologies and research
results to other reseachers.

Here is the CFP.  Please consider to participate it.

Thank you in advance,

                     Call for Participation

                     RoboCup Games @ PRIMA 2009

RoboCup Games @ PRIMA 2009 will be held as Agent Event of the 12th
International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent
Systems (PRIMA 2009) on Dec. 14-16, 2009 at Nagoya, Japan.

PRIMA is the leading scientific conference for research on intelligent
agent systems and multi-agent systems, attracting high quality,
state-of-the-art research from all over the world. The conference
endeavors to bring together researchers, developers, and academic and
industry leaders, active and interested in agents and multi-agent
systems, their practices and related areas. The conference is
specifically focused on becoming the premier forum for prototype and
deployed agent systems. The conference offers an exceptional
opportunity for presentation of original work, technological advances,
practical problems and concerns of the research community.

RoboCup is an international research and education initiative. It is
an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing
a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated
and examined, as well as being used for integrated project-oriented
education.

This time, we will have conpetitions of Soccer Simulation league and
Rescue Simulation league, both of which are a good testbed of
multi-agent researches.
