Philipp Bauer successfully defended his Master's thesis "Supporting Control Software Evolution with Model Comparison" (supervised by Lisa Sonnleithner and Rick Rabiser) on February 4. The thesis focuses on extracting differences and equivalences between variants and converting them into delta artifacts and integrating them into Eclipse 4diac™, providing a visualization tool and the semi-automatic generation of delta artifacts given any number of variants. Furthermore, the thesis evaluates the effectiveness of the proposed methods by means of quantitative comparisons and qualitative analyses, addressing research questions about algorithm performance, delta generation strategies, and manual effort reduction.

Congratulations on defending your thesis and attaining the highest possible grade! We wish you all the best in the future and thank you for your impressive efforts!

Thank you, too, Birgit Pröll and Alois Zoitl, for serving as part of the Master's thesis defense committee!
