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.

Submission
The workshop participants will be selected based on their experience and ideas
related to this maturing field. You are invited to apply for attendance by
sending:
- a full paper (10 pages) on original research, lessons learned from realizing an approach or experiences on transferring a research prototype into practice,
- a position paper (5 pages) covering a well-argued vision or position,
- a demo paper (2 pages) describing a demonstration to be shown at the workshop or
- an artifact paper (2 pages) together with the artifact, which is of use to the community (e.g., a reusable case study or a challenging example)
All papers must conform to the LNCS formatting guidelines: (Template).
At least three PC members will review each submission. The authors will be notified about acceptance before the MODELS 2018 early registration deadline.
You can submit your papers via EasyChair here.
Publication
Artifacts will be published in ReMoDD, the repository for model-driven development (ReMoDD).
Papers will be published on CEUR-WS.org in joint workshop proceedings of the conference.
