RoboCup International Symposium 2018<br>
Call for Papers<br>
<br>
OVERVIEW<br>
<br>
The 22nd Annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction<br>
with RoboCup 2018. The Symposium is a primary venue for presentation and<br>
discussion of scientific contributions to a variety of research areas<br>
related to all RoboCup divisions (RoboCup Soccer, RoboCup Rescue, RoboCup at<br>
Home, RoboCup at Work, and RoboCup Junior). Its scope includes, but is not<br>
restricted to, research and educational activities in robotics and<br>
artificial intelligence.<br>
<br>
Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the Symposium offers a unique venue for<br>
exploring both theory and practice in wide spectrum of research fields. The<br>
experimental, interactive, and benchmark character of the RoboCup initiative<br>
presents an opportunity to disseminate novel ideas and promising<br>
technologies, rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large, and still<br>
growing, community.<br>
<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION<br>
<br>
We solicit submissions of papers reporting high-quality, original research<br>
with relevance to robotics and artificial intelligence; topics of interest<br>
include, but are not limited to, the AREAS OF INTEREST listed below.<br>
Researchers in these areas, even if not actively participating in RoboCup<br>
teams, are urged to submit their work. We welcome both papers describing<br>
real- world research and papers reporting theoretical results, as well as<br>
combinations thereof. We also encourage the submission of high-quality<br>
overview articles for any field related to the general scope of RoboCup.<br>
<br>
The proceedings of the RoboCup International Symposium are published and<br>
archived within the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence<br>
(LNAI) series. <br>
Submitted papers are limited to 12 pages formatted according to the LNAI<br>
requirements (</span><a href="http://www.springer.com/series/1244" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">http://www.springer.com/series/1244</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">)
and must be<br>
electronically submitted through the symposium website:<br>
</span><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=robocupsymposium2018" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=robocupsymposium2018</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">.<br>
<br>
All contributions are peer-reviewed by a number of reviewers, and evaluated<br>
by members of the senior program committee.<br>
<br>
<br>
DEVELOPMENT TRACK<br>
<br>
To encourage open-source release of hardware and software components, a<br>
special track on open-source development will be part of the 2018 RoboCup<br>
International Symposium. Contributions to this track are limited to eight<br>
pages, formatted according to LNAI requirements. Contributions should<br>
include evidence of impact of the released component on the RoboCup<br>
community. Review of these contributions will be based on technical<br>
contribution and benefit to the RoboCup community.<br>
<br>
