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

SUBMISSION INFORMATION
-----------------------------------
Papers should be submitted electronically by April 11, 2016 in PDF  
format via EasyChair  
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=morse2016). Submitted papers  
must conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings Style (alternate format).

Submissions to the workshop are possible in two categories:
- Regular Papers should describe original work on a problem or  
solution w.r.t. the described topics of interest on six to eight pages.
- Position Papers should present a well-defined position on how  
Model-Driven Tequniques can improve the software engineering of  
robotic systems on two to four pages.

The accepted papers will be digitally published in the ACM Digital  
Library. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to attend the  
workshop.
