Focus

With the emergence of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs), systems engineers are currently facing a dramatic increase in the complexity of developing and operating systems. In particular, software plays an increasingly important role in the effective and efficient operation of CPPSs. Despite the tremendous progress in software engineering approaches and technologies, these approaches and techniques do not seem to reach industry. More comprehensive and systematic views on all aspects of systems and their development process are required. The 3rd Edition of the Special Session on Software Engineering for Cyber-Physical Production Systems (SECPPS) aims to discuss challenges in adopting state-of-the-art software engineering tools and techniques to CPPSs and highlight new approaches and methods for the design of software for production systems. The following list of topics is of interest for this special session. However, we also invite submissions on related topics, i.e., this list is by no means exhaustive. If in doubt, feel free to ask the organizers.

Topics under this session include:

  • Software engineering improvements for and transfer of best practices to CPPSs (e.g., agile methods)
  • Deployment, operation, evolution, and management of CPPS software (e.g., DevOps)
  • Product Lines and Variability Management in CPPS engineering
  • Software modeling and languages for CPPSs (e.g., model-driven engineering)
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration in the engineering and operation of CPPS software
  • Software engineering education for CPPS engineers
  • Security, resilience, and sustainability of CPPS software by design
  • Usability of software development environments for CPPS engineering
  • Software Methods and Techniques for explainable and trustworthy AI in CPPS engineering
