# Special Issue: Software Engineering for Robotics
# Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal, Elsevier
We invite submissions of papers on Software Engineering for Robotics for publication in a special issue of Robotics and Autonomous Systems (
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/robotics-and-autonomous-systems).
## Scope
This special issue is devoted to original research papers on techniques, applications, industrial case studies, and experience reports connected to the design and deployment of software for robotic systems. Focus is given on all aspects of modelling,
simulation, and implementation for the validation and verification of robotic systems.
## Topics of Interest
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to
* Domain-specific languages for robotics
* Verification of robotic applications: simulation, testing, and deployment
* Requirements analysis and validation of robotic applications
* Hybrid modelling and analysis of robotics applications
* Probabilistic models and analysis for robotic applications
* Approaches to safety and security of robotic applications
* Software development processes and methods for robotics
* Robotic system maintenance, adaptation, and evolution
## Submission Format and Guideline
Papers should be submitted via the online submission system Editorial Manager® (
https://www.editorialmanager.com/robot/default1.aspx) for the journal. There is a Guide for Authors (
