1st International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering (RoSE'18)
- part of ICSE 2018 -
Gothenburg, Sweden, May 28, 2018

Contents

Theme & Goals

Robotics is one of the most challenging domains for software engineering. Deploying even simple applications requires integrating solutions from experts of various domains, including navigation, path planning, manipulation, localization, human-robot interaction, etc. Integration of modules contributed by respective domain experts is one of the key challenges in engineering software-centric systems, yet only one of the cross-cutting software concerns crucial to robotics. As robots often operate in dynamic, partially observable environments additional challenges include adaptability, robustness, safety, and security.

The goal of RoSE 2018 is to bring together researchers from participating domains with practitioners to identify new frontiers in robotics software engineering, discuss challenges raised by real-world applications, and transfer latest insights from research to industry. RoSE 2018 will solicit contributions from both academic and industrial participants, thus fostering active synergy between the two communities.

Topics of Interest

RoSE 2018 seeks contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics related to robotics software engineering:

  • Analysis of challenges in robotic software engineering
  • Architectures that lead to reusable robotic software engineering
  • Challenges for defining and integrating domain-specific languages for the design of robotic systems
  • Continuous integration and deployment in robotics
  • Description and analysis of design principles promoting service quality attributes (e.g., performance, energy efficiency)
  • Engineering the collaboration of multiple (heterogeneous) robots
  • Identification and description of design principles in robot software architectures
  • Lessons learned in the engineering and deployment of large-scale, real-world integrated robot software architectures
  • Machine learning in safety-critical domains
  • Metrics to measure non-functional properties (e.g., robustness, availability, etc.) and their application
  • State-of-the-art research projects, innovative ideas, and field-based studies
  • Software engineering best practices in robotics
  • Processes and tools supporting engineering and development of robotic systems
  • Variability, modularity, and reusability in robotics
  • Validation and verification of robot software
