What is qualified as "Packages related to Robotics"?!
by Hedayat Vatankhah
Hi all,
I was reading a page about some software useful in robotics, and I found
that there are many software available in Fedora which are not listed in
our SIG page. Well, they are not robotics specific but are useful in
robotics. Examples include: OpenCV, CMU Sphinx and Festival. We should
certainly consider such software for our Robotics Spin, but I wonder if
we should also include such software in our WiKi page or not. Or in the
other way, if proposals for packaging such software should land on our
wiki (e.g. Julius speech recognition engine at [1]).
What's your opinion?

Call for Papers RoboCup 2011 Symposium
by Thomas Röfer
[apologies for multiple postings]
********************************************************************
Call for Papers
RoboCup International Symposium 2011
Istanbul, Turkey
July 4-10, 2011
http://www.robocup2011.org/
********************************************************************
OVERVIEW
The 15th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction with RoboCup 2011. The Symposium represents the core meeting for presentation and discussion of scientific contributions to a variety of research areas related to all RoboCup divisions (RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue, RoboCup@Home, and RoboCupJunior). Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, research and educational activities within the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the symposium offers a unique venue for exploring various and intimate connections of theory and practice across a wide spectrum of research fields. The experimental, interactive, and benchmark character of the RoboCup initiative presents the opportunity to disseminate novel ideas and promising technologies, which are rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large (and still growing) community.
SUBMISSION
We solicit submissions of papers reporting on high-quality, original research with relevance to the areas mentioned below. All researchers working in these areas, even if not actively participating in RoboCup teams, are urged to submit their work. Both papers describing real-world research and papers reporting theoretical results, as well as combinations thereof, are welcome. We also encourage the submission of high-quality overview articles for any field related to the general scope of RoboCup.
The proceedings of the RoboCup International Symposium are published and archived within the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Submitted papers are limited to 12 pages formatted according to the LNAI requirements and must be electronically submitted through the symposium web site. All contributions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers using a blind review process.
