Introduction

The RoboCup 2D simulation Soccer League is the oldest of the RoboCup Simulation competitions. It is based on the RoboCup Soccer Simulator that enables two teams of 11 simulated autonomous robots plus an autonomous coach agent to play a game of soccer with very realistic rules and game play. Due to its stability the RoboCup Soccer Simulator is a very good research and educational tool for multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Since teams competing at the 2D RoboCup Simulation League have settled on a high competitive standard and in order to promote scientific research, the qualification will be based on a measurement of the quality of the team’s scientific work expressed by a submitted Team Description Paper and logfiles with appropriate annotations. In RoboCup 2012 up to 24 teams will be allowed to participate in the 2D Simulation competitions. To register all teams have to provide a Team Description Paper and, in case they are based on another team under a license, they have to attach the agent source code.
