Organisation

The RoboCup Federation

The Simulation League

Commitees

In the Simulation League, there are three committees, technical, organising and the simulator maintenance committees. Roles of the committees are as follows:

Technical Committee

Decides the direction of the simulation league. It leads discussion about changes of the simulation league on the mailing list, sum up the discussion, and propose candidates changes of rules, regulation and simulators.

Organizing Committee

Manages yearly RoboCup competition. It decides actual changes used in the yearly RoboCup competition. The changes should be selected from candidates proposed by Technical Committee. The committee also should decide detailed parameters, new evaluation schemes, and other all things in the RoboCup competition.

Maintenance Committee

Maintains and extends the Simulator. The extensions to the simulator are directed by the Technical Commitee, however the Maintenance Committee is free to make changes that do not impact on the simulation itself.
