The RoboCup Synthetic Agent Challenge 97

Abstract:

RoboCup Challenge oers a set of challenges for intelligent agent researchers using a friendly competition in a dynamic, real-time, multi-agent domain: synthetic Soccer. While RoboCup in general envisions longer range challenges over the next few decades, RoboCup Challenge presents three specic challenges for the next two years: (i) learning of individual agents and teams; (ii) multi-agent team planning and plan-execution in service of teamwork; and (iii) opponent modeling. RoboCup Challenge provides a novel opportunity for researchers in planning and multi-agent arenas | it not only supplies them a concrete domain to evalute their techniques, but also challenges them to evolve these techniques to face key constraints fundamental to this domain: real-time and teamwork.
