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

Titled "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", the article focuses on the core theme of Sayyid's PhD dissertation, the V4rdiac Approach, a delta-oriented, multidisciplinary variability management approach to manage cyber-physical production system control software variants.

Titled "David Benavides, Chico Sundermann, Kevin Feichtinger, José A. Galindo, Rick Rabiser, Thomas Thüm: UVL: Feature Modelling with the Universal Variability Language", this paper focuses on 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.

The links to both papers will be available here shortly.

Congratulations to all of the authors, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year!
