------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS AND PARTICIPATION MDKE 2015 Workshop on Model-Driven Knowledge Engineering Wednesday, March 13, 2015 (Vienna, Austria) http://se-rwth.de/mdke15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

In robotics, developers with different backgrounds and focuses work together. Nowadays robotic systems consist of a particular hardware platform with a specific software architecture. Knowledge about sensor interaction, constraints, and further information is encoded within the architecture. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) already impacts other fields, but widely applicable and accepted approaches in robotics have yet to emerge. Improving re-use and modularity of robotics applications requires modeling the implicit knowledge encapsulated in current robotics modules and models explicitly. Applying Knowledge Engineering (KE) to model-driven robotics will ease reuse and enable more efficient robotics software engineering.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from different fields: On the one hand languages and tools for MDE have been developed, on the other hand robotics systems consist of an increasing amount of heterogeneous software which contains new exploitable knowledge about their properties and composition. Demands on robotics software regarding reusability, reliability, expandability, and efficiency are very high, hence suitable modeling techniques are required to achieve high quality software products. This workshop provides a platform for presentation of novel approaches to tackle these challenges by means of MDE and KE and how they reduce development cost and time. The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited to:

- Integration of knowledge engineering with architecture and deployment modeling - Composition of modules and components with the help of knowledge engineering - Modeling languages for knowledge engineering - Toolchains for the knowledge-aware modeling of robotic applications - Applications of knowledge engineering to models at run-time and self-* properties - Knowledge-Driven model transformation between languages and frameworks

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paper Submission and Publication ------------------------------------------------------------------------

We invite you to submit an extended abstract of your work for presentation. Extended abstracts may be around 1000 words, may include figures and references, and should be submitted in LNCS format via EasyChair (https://sselab.de/lab2/public/wiki/MDKE15/) at the latest on February 21, 2015. Submissions will be reviewed for quality and relevance by a program committee. We welcome contributions describing theoretical or applied results, best practices, and preliminary results. Authors of accepted submissions will present their contribution at the workshop. Submitting an abstract is no prerequisite to participate in workshop or discussion sessions. The workshop results will be published at RWTH Open Access publication server.
