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 to, 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
- Handling Emergent Behavior and Uncertainty | Software Qualities

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Paper abstracts should be submitted electronically by July 5, 2019 via
EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=morse19). Submitted
papers should conform to the IEEE 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 by IEEE in the MODELS
2019 Workshop Proceedings.
