Call For Papers

We welcome submissions of extended abstract (max. 2 pages) in PDF format and prepared using the standard template for R:SS. Submissions will be made via our Microsoft CMT site.

Each abstract will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity, and presentation. The accepted abstracts will be made available on the workshop's website (upon authors agreement). Accepted contributions will be presented during a virtual poster session, whose format will follow the general format of R:SS’21.

The Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence (BCAI) will sponsor an award for the best contribution presented during our workshop!
