The CD Lab aims to conduct applied basic research focusing on methodological support for mastering variability in Software-Intensive Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). A key focus lies on the automatic handling of variability, e.g., analyzing existing CPPS artifacts from the design process of CPPS to automatically extract and model variability information and generating and configuring target artifacts, especially to better support system evolution and future changes in software and hardware platforms as well as tools.

Congratulations to Elene Kutsia and Philipp Bauer (represented by co-supervisor Lisa Sonnleithner) for their great bachelor's theses/work winning the first Software Engineering Conference 2023 Student Research Competition (place 1 and 2).
The selection of winners was based on the submission of a two-page summary of the bachelor’s thesis, which was reviewed by a committee of international experts as well as based on the presentation at the conference (as poster).
Bachelor Theses:
Analyzing and Refactoring the Modularization of IEC 61499 Systems (by Philipp Bauer, supervised by Lisa Sonnleithner and Rick Rabiser)
Clone Detection in IEC 61499 using Metainformation (by Elene Kutsia, supervised by Lisa Sonnleithner, Michael Oberlehner and Rick Rabiser)
In November our Christian Doppler Lab VaSiCS was scientifically evaluated. The evaluation report we submitted before described the research results since the start of the laboratory in February 2021 and an outlook on the planned work for the next years. During the evaluation event we presented an overview of the research results and plans as well as selected details. The evaluation committee came to a very positive conclusion. Based on this conclusion and the decision of the CD-Senate, the CD-Kuratorium has approved the extension of the CD Lab VaSiCS for the next, three-year research period until Jan 31, 2026.
Workshop on Software Engineering in Cyber-Physical Production Systems (SECPPS), collocated with the Software Engineering (SE21) Conference
