CALL FOR PAPERS

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Robots are an indispensable part of modern production facilities. In the

future, robots will also become more common in daily life. Currently, however,

there is a lack of standardization w. r. t. hardware/software platforms for

robots, leading to a vast landscape of isolated, incompatible, task-specific

and, thus, non-reusable solutions. Consequently, there is a need for new

engineering methodologies for the design, implementation and execution of

software for robotic platforms.

Model-Driven Robot Software Engineering (MORSE) is a promising research field combining Software Engineering and Robotics. Its objectives are to introduce model-driven development methodologies for the development of robot software. At the same time, formal methods should be transferred to robotics because "robot apps" must be certified and verified. MORSE attempts to fill this gap.

Submissions are encouraged, but not limited, in the following topics:

Robotic Platforms: MDA, Models, Processes and Tools 

Hardware/Software Abstractions | Architectures | Metamodels 

Code- and Application-Reuse | Managed Redundancy | Deployment 

Variability in Robotic Systems | Self-Adaptive Systems | Evolution 

Programming Languages | Paradigms | Models | DSLs

Metrics for Evaluation of Model-driven Approaches

Models for and Modelling in Robotics 

Sensors and Actuators | Sensor Integration 

Computer Vision and Image Processing | Recognition and Tracking 

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning | Context Models 

Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling 

Localization, Mapping and Navigation 

Autonomous Robots | Robot Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Cooperative Perception | Planning | Task Allocation | Coordination 

Robot Swarms | Multi-Agent Robotic Systems

Robot Ecosystems and Total Cost of Ownership 

Product-Line Development | Robot Apps

End-User Customization | Multi-Tenancy

Model-Driven Quality Assurance of Robotic Systems 

Verification | Validation | Testing | Simulation | Debugging | Profiling

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Paper abstracts should be submitted electronically by July 10, 2018 via 

EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=morse18). Submitted 

papers should conform to the LNCS proceedings style.

Submissions to the workshop are possible in four categories:

full paper (10 pages) on original research, lessons learned from realizing an 

 approach or experiences on transferring a research prototype into practice,

position papers (5 pages) covering a well-argued vision or position,

demo papers (2 pages) describing a demonstration to be shown at the workshop

artifact papers (2 pages) together with the artifact, which is of use to the

 community (e.g., a reusable case study or a challenging example)

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to attend the workshop. The accepted 

papers will be digitally published in the MODELS 2018 Workshop Proceedings in 

CEUR-WS.
