The 11th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction with RoboCup 2007, immediately after the Competitions and Demonstrations. The Symposium represents the core meeting for the presentation and discussion of scientific contributions in diverse areas related to the three main threads within RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue and RoboCupJunior. Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, research and education activities within the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.

Due to its interdisciplinary nature and the exploration of various and intimate connections of theory and practice across a wide spectrum of different fields, the symposium offers an excellent opportunity to introduce new techniques to various scientific disciplines. The experimental, interactive and benchmark character of the RoboCup initiative 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. In particular, we would like to urge also people not actively participating in a RoboCup team to submit their work. The introduction of RoboCup@Home in 2006 provides additional opportunity to expand the areas of discussion at the Symposium. Following is a list of the major topics of interest.
