Connectionists: [meetings] CfP 23rd Annual RoboCup International Symposium 2019

[Stephan Chalup]

CALL FOR PAPERS
23rd Annual RoboCup International Symposium 2019
The 23rd Annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction with RoboCup 2019 at the International Convention Centre Sydney, Australia. 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. In addition to the main track with regular papers there will be a special development track on hardware development, software frameworks and open-source development.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of full papers: 8 April 2019
Notification to authors: 21 May 2019
Submission of camera-ready copies: 4 June 2019
RoboCup 2019 Symposium: 8 July 2019

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-guidelines) and must be electronically submitted through the EasyChair electronic submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcs2019) which is linked to the symposium website.
Regular papers are limited to 12 pages and papers of the development track should adhere to the limit of 8 pages.
Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf.
