[robocup-rescue-s] RoboCup Symposium

Reminder: the 11th of February is the last day for submitting an
abstract to the RoboCup 2007 Symposium. The paper deadline is February
18th. If you are planning to submit a paper, please submit your abstract
as soon as possible.

For more information please find the call for papers repeated below.

Best Regards,

Call for papers

The 11th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in
conjunction with RoboCup 2007, immediately after the Competitions and
Demonstrations. The Symposium represents the core meeting for the
presentation and discussion of scientific contributions in diverse areas
related to the three main threads within RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue
and RoboCupJunior. Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to,
research and education activities within the fields of Artificial
Intelligence and Robotics.

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. The
experimental, interactive and benchmark character of the RoboCup
initiative creates the opportunity to present, learn and evaluate novel
ideas and approaches with significant potential. If promising, they are
then rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large (and still strongly
growing) community. In particular, we would like to urge also people not
actively participating in a RoboCup team to submit their work. The
introduction of RoboCup@Home in 2006 provides additional opportunity to
expand the areas of discussion at the Symposium. Following is a list of
the major topics of interest.

Following is a list of the major topics of interest.
• multi-agent systems and multi-robot systems:
• learning and adaptive systems
• cooperation and collaboration
• teamwork and heterogeneous agents
• dynamic resource allocation
• adjustable autonomy
• planning, reasoning and modeling
• simulation
• sensory processing and control:
• robot vision (including omnidirectional)
• image processing
• self-localization and navigation
• world modeling
• sensor-motor control
• distributed sensor networks
• robot hardware and software:
• system integration and software engineering
• real-time and concurrent programming
• robot programming environments and languages
• embedded and mobile hardware
• mobile robots and humanoids
• new devices and materials for robots
• human-robot interaction:
• visualization
• speech synthesis and natural language generation
• human-robot interfaces
• applications:
• disaster rescue information systems
• search and rescue robots
• service robots
• robots at home
• education and edutainment:
• AI, robotics and science education
• educational robotics
• computer and robotic entertainment

Submission
Both papers describing real-world research and papers dealing with
strong theoretical results are welcome, as well as combinations thereof.
We also encourage the submission of high-quality overview articles for
any field related to the general scope of RoboCup, especially the ones
listed above. The proceedings of the RoboCup Symposium are published
within the Springer LNAI series.

All submissions to the International Symposium are automatically entered
in the selection process for the RoboCup "Best Paper Award", which
recognizes outstanding research within a field related to the scope of
the Symposium.

If the primary author of a paper is a student, then the paper will
automatically be entered into the selection process for the "Best
Student Paper Award".

By submitting to the RoboCup Symposium, authors are declaring that their
work has not already been submitted for publication elsewhere (in any
form: conference, workshop, journal, etc.) and that it will not be
submitted until they are notified about the results of the RoboCup
reviewing process.

Submitted papers should follow the Springer LNAI format and are limited
to 12 pages. Instructions for formatting can be found at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Papers will be submitted electronically via ConfMaster and will be
blind-reviewed. Instructions about the electronics submission process
can be found on the submission page of the symposium website. The
electronic submission process requires a PDF file of the full paper, and
the separate submission of an abstract.

Submission of abstracts: February 11th, 2007; 23:59 PST
Submission of papers: February 18th, 2007; 23:59 PST
Notification to authors: March 31st, 2007
