Author Instructions
Submissions must be high quality, original work with relevance to the
areas described in the Call for
Papers. The RoboCup Symposium includes but is not limited to the
areas described in the CFP. Due to its interdisciplinary nature and the
exploration of various and intimate connections of theory and practice
of a wide spectrum of different fields, it provides an excellent
opportunity to introduce novel ideas and approaches and spread them
amongst various scientific disciplines. The experimental, interactive
and benchmark character of the RoboCup tournament 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.
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 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 the Symposium.
Submitted papers should follow the Springer LNAI format, and are
limited to 16 pages.

We strongly encourage electronic submissions per the electronic
instructions. Instructions on the electronics submission process go to:
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 15, 2002.
