Hi,

I would like to recommend ROS users considering submission of their
ROS-related work to the Robotics Software Design and Engineering topic of
the International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems (IJARS) handled by
SAGE Publishing, UK.
https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/international-journal-of-advanced-robotic-s
ystems/journal202567

I am the Editor-in-Chief of the Robotics Software Design and Engineering and
the journal welcomes works related to Software Engineering issues with ROS.

The journal looks for papers that provide solutions for the future cloud
robotics and Web robotics paradigms, in addition to the integration of
robots into the Internet and the cloud computing systems through software
abstractions and interfaces. The journal also welcomes contributions related
to Robot Operation System (ROS) related software and development.

Submitted papers must contain design, implementation, validation and
evaluation of their software solutions for mobile robots.
 
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

Software Engineering for Mobile Robots
* Robot software meta-model
* Robot software architecture
* Object-oriented software engineering
* Agent-oriented software engineering for cooperative robots
* Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
* Software testing of robotıs software
* Performance evaluation of robotic software
* Robotic software safety and quality assessment
* Model-driven software development for robots
* Software abstractions for robotics applications
* Simulation models for mobile robots
* Multi-robot systems software design
Cloud Robotics
* Robots for the Internet-of-Things (Robot-as-a-Service)
* Web services for robots
* Internet of robots
* Internet of drones
* Distributed processing of robotic sensors data
* Big data tools for robotics applications
* Robotsı virtualization
* Collaborative cloud-based robots
* Remote brains for robots
* Knowledge databases and semantics for mobile robots
* Robots' interoperability and communication protocols and their
implementation
Software Engineering with Robot Operating System (ROS)
* Comprehensive tutorials and surveys on ROS
* Case studies with ROS
* Using ROS in higher education
* Contributed ROS packages
* Software interfaces and abstractions for ROS
* Integration of ROS with the Internet

For any question, do not hesitate to contact me.
