• abstract = "At RoboCup, teams of autonomous robots or software softbots compete in simulated soccer matches to demonstrate cooperative robotics techniques in a very difficult, real-time, noisy environment. At the IJCAI/RoboCup97 softbot competition, all entries but ours used human-crafted cooperative decision-making behaviors. We instead entered a softbot team whose high-level decision making behaviors had been entirely evolved using genetic programming. Our team won its first two games against human-crafted opponent teams, and received the RoboCup Scientific Challenge Award. This report discusses the issues we faced and the approach we took to use GP to evolve our robot soccer team for this difficult environment.",
• notes = "GP-98 This paper is similar to an earlier workshop paper \cite{luke:1997:csstcGP}. The key difference being that the workshop paper, which was not for a Genetic Programming audience, is short on experimental details and long on introductions to how GP works. There also exists a short invited paper \cite{luke:1998:sretro} detailing how this experiment could have been improved. Also available is a short sidebar for an AI Magazine article. http://www.genetic-programming.com/hc/lukesoccer.html",
