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

Autonomous Robots | Robot Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Cooperative Perception | Planning | Task Allocation | Coordination
Robot Swarms | Multi-Agent Robotic Systems

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.
