Very nice surprise just before the winter holidays: two articles with #litCPSlab #CDLVaSiCS co-authors have been accepted in the Journal of Systems and Software 😍 -- the currently third-highest ranked publication venue in the are of software systems according to Google Scholar, opens an external URL in a new window.

In "Hafiyyan Sayyid Fadhlillah, Kristof Meixner, Sandra Greiner, Antonio Manuel Gutiérrez Fernández, Rick Rabiser: Managing Control Software Variability in Cyber-Physical Production Systems: The V4rdiac Approach" we describe the core of Sayyid's PhD thesis, the V4rdiac Approach, a delta-oriented, multidisciplinary variability management approach for managing cyber-physical production system control software variants.

In "David Benavides, Chico Sundermann, Kevin Feichtinger, José A. Galindo, Rick Rabiser, Thomas Thüm: UVL: Feature Modelling with the Universal Variability Language" we the outcome of a community-driven effort to develop a variability modeling language: the Universal Variability Language (UVL). We envision UVL as a pivotal solution, addressing the limitations of prior attempts and fostering collaboration and innovation in the domain of software product line engineering.

Links to both papers will be added later via update of this post.

Congratulations to all the authors and happy holidays and a good start into 2025!
