[robotics-worldwide] CfP: IROS 2010 Workshop on Best Practice in Robot Control Architectures for Service Robots

[Geoffrey Biggs]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
IROS 2010 Workshop on Best Practice in Robot Control Architectures for
Service Robots

October 22, 2010  13:30 - 18:00
Taipei International Convention Center, Taipei, Taiwan
http://www.best-of-robotics.org/en/brics-events/iros2010-workshop.html


This half-day workshop will analyze recurring patterns in robot control
and robot software architectures, in order to gain a better
understanding of both common practice and ”good” practice in robot
software. We wish to increase understanding of what constitutes a good
(in terms of quality attributes) robot control architecture and to
identify, analyse and formalise recurring architectural patterns. We
also wish to identify and develop methods for qualitative comparisons of
architectural designs. The workshop targets both researchers and
practitioners in service robotics, who work on robot control
architectures and complete service robot implementations.

The workshop is aimed at robotics professionals and researchers from all
areas of robotics who have experienced recurring patterns of control in
their work, as well as researchers in robot software architectures and
model-driven development for robotics.

We will have four invited talks, followed by open discussion.
