>>    Dear ROS community,

>>    we are happy to announce three new ROS repositories:

>>    - cn-roscs-ros-pkg (http://code.google.com/p/cn-_**_roscs-ros-pkg/<http://code.google.com/p/cn-__roscs-ros-pkg/>
>>    <http://code.google.com/p/cn-**roscs-ros-pkg/<http://code.google.com/p/cn-roscs-ros-pkg/>
>> >)

>>    This stack contains a single package: roscs, which provides C#
>>    wrappers for ROS. It does not support the complete ROS
>>    functionality, but the parts we deemed most important, namely
>>    publish / subscribe, service calls, limited support for parameters
>>    and some minor functionality. We are using this under Linux with
>>    mono, Windows is not tested and will probably not work.

>>    - cn-util-ros-pkg (http://code.google.com/p/cn-_**_util-ros-pkg/<http://code.google.com/p/cn-__util-ros-pkg/>
>>    <http://code.google.com/p/cn-**util-ros-pkg/<http://code.google.com/p/cn-util-ros-pkg/>
>> >)

>>    This stack contains some useful utility libraries, namely:
>>    - cstf, which wraps some tf methods in C#,
>>    - Castor, a utility library for reading and writing configuration
>>    files from C++ and C#,
>>    - udp_proxy_generator - Generates multicast proxies for ros topics.
>>    It is a very simple approach to a multi master environment, no
>>    namespace or topic remappings are done, messages are simply relayed.
>>    Given a configuration file, which specifies topics and message
>>    types, C++ code for a proxy is generated and compiled.

>>    - cn-alica-ros-pkg (http://code.google.com/p/cn-_**_alica-ros-pkg/<http://code.google.com/p/cn-__alica-ros-pkg/>
>>    <http://code.google.com/p/cn-**alica-ros-pkg/<http://code.google.com/p/cn-alica-ros-pkg/>
>> >)

>>    This stack holds ALICA, a framework to coordinate and control
>>    multiple robots. It consists of three packages:
>>            - Planmodeller - an Eclipse-based IDE to model
>>              multi-robot behaviour.
>>            - AlicaEngine - an execution layer for the designed programs.
>>            - AlicaClient - a simple monitoring GUI.
>>    At its core, ALICA, similar to SMACH, uses hierarchies of
>>    state-automata to define behaviour. In contrast to SMACH, it is
>>    geared at teams of robots, and features task and role allocation
>>    algorithms and coordinated constraint solving and optimisation
>>    facilities.

>>    This is part of an ongoing effort to make the source code of the
>>    RoboCup Mid-Size Team Carpe Noctem publicly available. All this
>>    software is used on our MSL robots. Documentation will be added to
>>    the wiki once indexed.

>>    action during the Dutch Open 2012 tournament.
