Final Call for Papers
The RoboCup 2002 International Symposium
June 24-25, 2002 Fukuoka, Japan
http://www.robocup2002.org/
Purpose and Scope
The 6th RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction
and immediately after the RoboCup 2002 Competitions and Demonstrations
as the core meeting for the presentation of scientific contributions
in areas of relevance to RoboCup. Its scope is mainly within the
fields of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Education. The
symposium will include invited talks by John Blitch, Mitsuo Kawato,
Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Lynne Parker, and technical paper presentations in a
broad range of areas of interest, including:
* Multi-Agent/Robot Systems * Robotics, Science Education
* Sensor/Motor Control * Adversarial Planning
* Self-localization and Navigation * Planning, Reasoning, and Modeling
* Vision and Image-Processing * Learning and Adaptive Systems
* Cooperation and Collaboration * Simulation and Visualization
* Realtime and Concurrent Programming * Embedded and Mobile Hardware
* Non-conventional actuation systems * Artificial muscles
* Next generation sensors for robotics * Mobile Robots and Humanoids
* Search and rescue robots * Adjustable Autonomy
* Disaster rescue information systems * System integration
* Computer and Robotic Entertainment * Speech Synthesis
* Natural Language Generation * Distributed Sensor Fusion
* Omnidirectional Vision * Smart Materials
* Fuel Cell Batteries * Software Engineering
* Dynamic Resource Allocation * Heterogeneous Agents
We invite submissions of papers reporting on high quality, original
work to the RoboCup Symposium. Due to its interdisciplinary nature,
the RoboCup International Symposium provides an excellent opportunity
to introduce and spread novel ideas and approaches into various
scientific disciplines. We invite people who do not actively
participate in RoboCup to submit their work on the topics above or
related ones. The experimental character of the RoboCup games gives in
addition the possibility to get novel ideas and approaches adopted and
field-tested by a constantly growing community. Papers describing
real-world research as well as papers dealing with strong theoretical
results are both welcome. We also encourage the submission of
high-quality overview articles for any field related to the scope of
RoboCup, especially the ones listed above. The proceedings of RoboCup
are published within the Springer LNAI-series. All submissions to the
International Symposium enter the selection process for the RoboCup
"Scientific Challenge Award", which recognizes outstanding research
within a field related to the scope of RoboCup.
Submission format and instructions
Submitted papers should follow the Springer LNAI format, and are
limited to 16 pages. For formatting instructions, take a look at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. We strongly encourage
electronic submissions per the instructions at
http://spiderfish.coral.cs.cmu.edu/robocup2002/. The electronic
submission process requires a postscript or pdf file of the full
paper, and the separate submission of an abstract. Authors who cannot
submit their papers electronically should contact the program chairs
for instructions on submitting hard copies. All submission materials
are due Feb 1, 2002.
