https://2022.robocup.org/symposium-call-for-satellite-events/
Submission of proposals: 3 April 2022
Notification to authors: 25 April 2022
Satellite Events: 17 or 18 July 2022 (RoboCup 2022: 11-17 July 2022)
===========================================================
We invite you to organize a satellite event for the 25th RoboCup
International Symposium, which will be held on 17 July 2022, in
conjunction with RoboCup 2022 (11 July to 17 July 2022) in a hybrid
setting. The RoboCup symposium is an annual event in which innovative,
original research with relevance to areas of robotics and artificial
intelligence is presented.
The Symposium Program Co-Chairs would like to facilitate the
organization of satellite workshops, focus groups, roundtable
discussions, and other events that are related to RoboCup itself or the
general aim of the RoboCup Symposium. This includes league-specific
discussions about rules and/or roadmaps, shared infrastructure projects
between leagues, as well as scientific workshops focusing on a
particular research topic, among others. League committee members, as
well as teams or individuals from RoboCup leagues participating in the
Symposium, are invited to submit their proposals. The organizers of a
satellite event are free to propose events between 2 and 8 hours in
length to be held during or a day after the RoboCup Symposium (17 or 18
July) in a fully virtual, hybrid, or fully local format.

Call for papers
RoboCup International Symposium 2022
https://2022.robocup.org/symposium-call-for-papers/
17 July 2022
Bangkok, Thailand (hybrid setting)
The 25th RoboCup International Symposium will be held on 17 July 2022, in conjunction with RoboCup 2022 (11 July to 17 July 2022) in a hybrid setting.
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 is planned to be held in person in Bangkok, Thailand, with remote participation options for both presenters and attendees. 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.

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 2021, 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.
