This is a kind reminder that the deadline for the RoboCup Symposium is approaching fast:
Call for papers –submission date April 22 April 23:59 PST RoboCup International Symposium 2024 https://2024.robocup.org/research/symposium/ Monday 22 July 2024 Eindhoven, Netherlands.
The 27th RoboCup International Symposium will be held on 22 July 2024, in conjunction with RoboCup 2024 (15 July to 21 July 2024), in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. We call for submissions of papers reporting innovative, original research with relevance to areas of robotics and artificial intelligence as listed below. Within the described scope of topics, we also encourage submissions of high-quality overview articles, papers describing real-world research, and papers reporting theoretical results. Researchers are invited to submit their work independently of whether they participate in the RoboCup competitions or have a RoboCup team. The symposium will be held in person at the Evoluon Conference Center in Eindhoven. In addition to the regular track with regular research papers, there is the development track encouraging reports on innovative hardware developments, software frameworks, and open-source releases of software components. A review of papers describing these contributions will be based on technical aspects and benefits to the practice of communities working in the above fields in general and RoboCup in particular.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of full papers: 22 April 23:59 PST Notification to authors: 5 June 2024 RoboCup Symposium 2024: 22 July 2024 (RoboCup on 15-21 July 2024)
SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS
All papers will be peer-reviewed and evaluated by members of the senior program committee. The proceedings of the RoboCup International Symposium will be published and archived within the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI) series by Springer-Verlag after the conference. Papers should be formatted following the LNAI author guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui...) and must be electronically submitted through Springer’s electronic-submission system EquinOCS (https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/RoboCup2024).
Submissions are limited to 12 pages including references.
The LNAI author guidelines site contains a Springer’s proceedings LaTeX template (v2.23), an older version of this template (v2.21) is also available in Overleaf: (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-conference-proceedings-tem...)
DEVELOPMENT TRACK
To encourage open-source release of hardware and software systems, the RoboCup International Symposium has included a development track in recent years. In 2024, we expand the scope of this track to include datasets and benchmarks. We encourage the submission of papers describing open-source hardware and software, tools and frameworks that facilitate development of robotics hardware and software, datasets that enable new robotic capabilities, as well as benchmarks that establish reproducible test beds and performance metrics to advance research. If applicable, contributions to the special track should include evidence of the released system or dataset, and highlight past, ongoing, and/or potential future impacts on the RoboCup community. A review of these contributions will be based on technical merit and benefits to the RoboCup community, and the research topics listed above.
