Abstract
The RoboCup Soccer Server and associated client code is a growing body of software infrastructure that enables a wide variety of multiagent systems research. This paper describes the current Soccer Server and the chaxmpion CMUnited soccer-playing agents, both of which are publically available and used by a growing research community. It also describes the ongoing development of FUSS, a new, flexible simulation environment for multiagent research in a variety of multiagent domains.
