Model-Driven Robot Software Engineering (MORSE) 2013 Workshop
Organizer: Uwe Aßmann, 0.10, Sept 2, 2013
Venue
The workshop will take place from Sunday evening, Sept. 1, 2013 – Wednesday lunch, Sept. 4, 2013 in Laubusch, Informatik- und Begegnungszentrum Sachsen (IBS), between Dresden and Berlin, near Senftenberg. The IBS is a new meeting center for East Germany (the „Eastern Dagstuhl“), has been sponsored from some companies and is organized by Technische Universität Chemnitz. The workshop costs about 60€ per day, room, full food and coffee breaks included.
Objectives
This informal workshop gathers researchers from several European countries with an interest in the model-driven develop of robot software. In the last years, the modeling of NAO robots, turtle bots, Kuka youBots, and other interesting robot platforms has become quite exciting task for teaching and research, and the research groups want to exchange
Low Ratings and poor Reviews If from clients you notice testimonials on a site of a business, you should not start working with that business. School pupils are requested to compose essays. It’s right that that shouldn’t be simple. It is preferable to talk about and analyze the perspective that the writer is encouraging. Irrespective of how familiar the subject might appear, start looking to back your claims up and always study the area in general. We’ve got not to forget that suffering will end, though it’s simple to overlook at times. It is not sufficient to maintain there is a single thought far better than the other, you really have to prove it. Most individuals are paper writer unaware that there’s anything wrong with their writing that is on-line. Essay includes five paragraphs.
their experience, present challenges,
and ongoing work.
Some sessions of the workshop are (non-exhaustive list):
- Definition of „model-driven robot software engineering“ – What is really new in MORSE? Do we need this research field or is it just a subfield of MDSD?
- Research problem – what are interesting research challenges?
- Demos – what did we do so far in each location, and what can we learn from each other
- Teaching – who has OSS software packages for teaching that can be shared
- Breakout sessions to topics proposed by the participants
- Discussion on a common technical report or book
- Evening sessions with newest videos on robots
For more information please consult the workshop’s program.
Topics of the workshop are (non-exhaustive list):
- Model-Driven Architecture for robots: how to model them in a platform-independent way?
- Energy optimization for robots
- Domain-specific languages for robots
- Ontologies for robots
- Model-based simulation for robots, in particular multi-domain modeling
- Coupling continuous and discrete models – how to couple Modelica with object-oriented classical languages
- Modeling principles, such as reasoning with Open World Assumption/Closed World Assumption, integrated reasoning with Melanie modeling
- How to couple low-level models and program analysis, such as WCETA and Worst-Case Energy Analysis (WCEA), to high-level models, such as equations, statecharts, petri nets
- Context-sensitive behavior, but nevertheless verifiability – how to achieve?
- Contracts for robots, including quality contracts
- Cyber-physical role-object pattern: structural models with roles in the physical and cyber world
Participants and Invitees
Laubusch has 15 internal guest rooms (plus 3 external) for the workshop, so the participant number is limited. However, we have (tentative) reservations for approximately 10 more people located at Hotel Sachsenhof, Luga closeby that may be used for additional guests (timely acknowledged participation required).

Social Event : Konrad-Zuse-Computermuseum
The Social Event will be an excursion on Tuesday, Sept 3, 13:30-16:30 to the
Konrad-Zuse-Computermuseum in the neighboring town of Hoyerswerda. Konrad Zuse was a German computer pioneer from Saxony. He invented the world’s first functional program-controlled Turing-complete computer. Zuse was born in Hoyerswerda. The Konrad-Zuse-Computermuseum displays and explains many of his inventions in the city Zuse went to school and where he found his interest for science and technology. There will be an admission of 5€ per person. Unfortunately, the guided tour is available in German language only (we will try to translate) but there are many exhibits to see nonetheless.
Transport will be arranged and we meet at 13:30, beginning of the tour will be at 14:00.
