Hey, folks,
We are excited to organize the 7th Edition of the International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering, co-located at the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE '25) in Ottawa, Canada next year (April 27th to May 3rd, 2025).
We would love to see more members of the ROS community get involved, whether that be through submitting a paper on your research, tools, or a case study about software engineering practice, or by participating in the workshop and contributing to the discussion.
If that sounds interesting to you, check out the Call for Papers on the workshop website (RoSE 2025), or feel free to send me a DM or email with any questions! (e.g., “could I submit a paper on X?”)
Submissions are due on November 11th, 2024. We are interested in contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics related to robotics software engineering:
- Analysis of challenges in robotic software engineering
- Best practices in engineering robotic software
- Continuous integration and deployment in robotics
- Domain-specific languages and tools for the development of robotic software
- Empirical studies of robotics software and software tools, including its usability
- Engineering (heterogeneous) multi-robot systems.
- Identification and analysis of design principles promoting quality of service (e.g., performance, energy efficiency)
- Lessons learned in the engineering and deployment of large-scale, real-world integrated robot software
- Machine learning applied to robotic software
- Metrics measuring non-functional properties (e.g., robustness, availability, etc.) and their application to robotic software
- Mining software repositories of robotic systems
- Model-Driven Engineering methods and techniques applied to robotic software
- Processes and tools supporting the engineering and development of robotic systems
- Software architecture of robotic systems
- State-of-the-art research projects, innovative ideas, and field-based studies in robotic software engineering
- Static and dynamic analysis of robotic software
- Usability studies of robotics software and tools
- Variability, modularity, and reusability in robotic software
- Validation and verification of robotic software
Thank you on behalf of the RoSE '25 organizers!
