Re: Robocup European Championship: CFPapers

CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
Robocup European Championship-2000 Amsterdam
The First Robocup European Championship 2000 and Conferences
28 May - 2 June
University Sport Center, Amsterdam, Netherlands
See http://www.robocup.org

The Robot World Cup, RoboCup, is an international initiative to foster AI and
intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem, a soccer game,
where a wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined. This is the
first European RoboCup event, and it will be held in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. The competitions will take place at the Sport Center of the
University of Amsterdam. The participation of the best teams of this European
Championship in the Robot World Cup in Australia will be sponsored by the
organizing commitee.

The first Robot World Cup, RoboCup-97, was held in Nagoya, Japan, in August
1997, and included the participation of more than 40 teams. The second Robot
World Cup, RoboCup-98, was held in Paris, in July 98, and more than 60 teams
participated. In 1999 the third Robot Soccer World Cup was held in Stockholm,
Sweden. In August 2000 the fourth Robot Soccer World Cup Games will be held in
Australia. Future scheduled RoboCup events are: RoboCup-2001 Seattle,
RoboCup-2002 Japan. Sites for 2003 and after are not decided.

In order for a team of robot agents to play a soccer game, different
technologies must be integrated, including design principles of autonomous
agents, multi-agent collaboration, strategy acquisition, real-time reasoning,
sensor-fusion, and learning. RoboCup is a task for a team of multiple
fast-moving robot agents in a dynamic, non-deterministic, and adversarial
environment. The different leagues emphasize different aspects of the
challenge
of creating teams of autonomous agents.

As a test bed for progressing the technology of multiple agent systems Robocup
serves to bring together teams of researchers in a cooperative environment. It
is a condition of entry that teams must disclose the technology used in the
creation of their teams. The competitions themselves are very exciting and
provide both educational and entertainment interest for the audience that
attends Robocup events.

Real Robot Small League (F180): Teams of up to five real robots of small size
(approximately 15 cm in diameter) compete on a 1.525 x 2.74 m field.

Real Robot Medium League (F2000): Teams of up to five real robots of medium
size (approximately 50cm in diameter) compete on a 4.575 x 8.22m field.

Simulation League: Software agents play soccer using the RoboCup soccer server
simulator, available from the RoboCup Web page. The competition will be played
on a parallel machine running Linux. The registered teams will have the
possibility to experiment on this system during the last two months before
Robocup European Championship 2000. We plan to have also an application
available that can be downloaded, so that people can see the simulation
competition on Internet in real-time.

Visualization: A number of groups in the world work on 3D visualization
systems
of the log-file data of the robot simulator, automatic commenting systems and
automatic systems for the selection of the most challenging events during the
competition. These systems will be demonstrated during the event

Legged Robot League: A demo of Sony legged robots playing soccer games will be
given.

Workshop: A workshop will be held to present and discuss technical details of
the robots and software agents which participate in the competition, as
well as
other research and educational topics related to RoboCup. The workshop
submission is open to anyone interested in science and technology related to
RoboCup. It is not limited to participants of RoboCup competition program.
RoboCup commentators, 3D visualization, theoretical analysis of real soccer
games, application and relevance of RoboCup to significant social program,
specific technologies which may be applied to improve RoboCup's team
performance, educational issues, etc, are all welcome contributions to the
workshop program. Post-workshop proceedings will be published from
Springer-Verlag as a sub-line of Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence
(LNAI). Details about the paper submission will be made available at the
RoboCup official Web site.

Rules and selection: Details of the rules for the different competitions are
available at the RoboCup official Web site http://www.robocup.org.
Selection of
teams to compete at RoboCup is the responsibility of each league. Teams
wishing
to enter should consult the league pages at the RoboCup official Web site and
take care to read the qualification requirements carefully. General Questions
on RoboCup may be send to kitano@csl.sony.co.jp.

ECAI 2000 Workshop on
BALANCING REACTIVITY AND SOCIAL DELIBERATION IN MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
http://www.first.gmd.de/plan/ecai-2000-ws.html
Berlin, Germany, August 22, 2000

Important Dates 
Deadline for submission:           1.5.2000 
Notification:                      1.6.2000 
Deadline for camera-ready papers: 10.6.2000 
Workshop:                         22.8.2000

Scope 
Today's envisioned applications of intelligent systems in general and
multi-agent systems in particular confront researchers and developers with the
difficulty of finding the right balance between reactive and socially
deliberative behavior. Reactive systems are capable of adapting very
quickly to
unforeseen changes in the environment and are hence said to be more robust and
efficient. On the other hand, they usually lack the necessary overview to
produce behavior that can compete with the results of in-depth reasoning
techniques. In contrary to that, socially deliberative systems allow for
exploiting environmental information and coordination mechanisms to build up
through-thought individual and even team- oriented strategies. Though their
problem-solving results are usually much better than in reactive systems,
deliberative systems are much more susceptible to dynamic environments and
often lack the potential for real-time computation.

This workshop focuses on theoretical, technical and practical work on
balancing
between these two extremes in the context of collaborative work in multi-agent
systems. Contributions from Artificial Intelligence as well as Robotics are
welcome.

Theoretical and technical topics of interest include, but are not restricted
to:
- Extension of reactive systems by cooperation
- Teaching deliberative systems reactivity and real-time
- Efficient coordination, cooperation and organization approaches
- Anytime approaches and algorithms
- Design and evaluation of hybrid multi-level agent architectures
- Short-term, medium-term and long-term intentionality
- Enriching group behavior by environmental, opponent and social models 
- Individual and social adaptivity

To keep the workshop focussed, we encourage practical contributions to be
directed at:
- Multi-agent problem solving (planning, scheduling, control)
Real-world problems often require distributed solving strategies, because of
natural distribution, social competence and efficiency matters. Multi-agent
approaches to such problems are said to be more robust than monolithic
systems,
but usually entail worse solutions. How can this be overcome by better
balancing between reactive and deliberative behavior?
- RoboCup
RoboCup has proven to be a great and challenging benchmarking scenario both to
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. In RoboCup reactivity and real-time
are a
must, but social deliberation gets more and more important to match the
world's
leading teams. Hence, there is much research work to be done considering the
topics of this workshop. 

IMPORTANT: Papers that focus on RoboCup-specific topics should make clear how
the work could be applied to other domains as well. We encourage you to
pick at
least one specific domain and argue that such is the case. 

Submissions 
Participation in the workshop will be restricted to 30 persons. We encourage
active participation by inviting only people with submitted papers or with a
single-page statement of interest, reflecting the authors' concrete
relation to
the field and topic. All workshop participants must register for ECAI 2000. 

Informal pre-proceedings of the workshop will be published in time to be
available at the workshop. Additionally, Springer-Verlag has committed to
publish an edited version of the workshop proceedings in its well-known
Lecture
Notes on Artificial Intelligence series
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html). Authors of selected papers will
be asked to extend their articles for inclusion in this LNAI volume.

Papers should be formatted according to the LNAI style guide for authors
(refer
to http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and should not exceed 12
pages.

Papers should be submitted as Postscript-files and additionally as pure Tex-
and Eps-files via eMail to the contact person named below. Alternatively, send
four copies of your paper via ordinary mail to the address of the contact
person. Electronic submission is strongly preferred.

Deadline for submission:           1.5.2000
