Interested in how #DigitalTwins can be used for software engineering processes and attending @icseconf.bsky.social ? Join us now in room 207. #ICSE #SoftwareEngineering

Overview of areas of accepted #ICSE2025 papers @icseconf.bsky.social

Is any university that doesn't use WebEx currently hiring SE professors? Asking for a friend.

Proud supervisor moment: the first PhD student that I started supervising (and still am) has reached an h-index of 10. Congrats to him!

Modeling is key to #DigitalTwin engineering!
In our INCOSE Systems Engineering article "Model-Driven Engineering for Digital Twins: Opportunities and Challenges", we argue that #MDE is essential for improving the efficiency and reliability of DT engineering. The OA article: doi.org/10.1002/sys....

🚀 Our paper is out: "Energy Efficiency in ROS Communication: A Comparison across Programming Languages and Workloads".

💡🌱🤖 It moves forward in sustainable robotics software engineering.

😁 Gut: Maschinenbauer die zu Vortragsbeginn ankündigen keine Ahnung von Software zu haben.

😂 Besser: Maschinenbauer die das tun und es 30 Minunten lang durch Buzzword-Bingo beweisen.

Informatics Europe calls for software recognition in the EIC Work Programme through dedicated funding and stronger public-private collaborations, which is essential for Europe's competitiveness, digital autonomy, and tackling key challenges like cybersecurity and sustainability.

We, alongside 10 National Informatics Associations in #Europe, issued an open letter urging the #EIC to:
🔴Recognise #software as a key enabling technology
🔴Allocate dedicated #funding for software research
🔴Strengthen public-private collaborations

This is not acceptable! ;) But I understand.

Will you be attending MODELS?

Agreed. Moreover, I consider lowcode being a success story of MDE, but we don't sell this well either.

Some of the topics that we're working on

Last week, Finland's Publication Forum announced that it is downgrading its classification of 271 journals to the lowest level, zero. This includes 187 MDPI and 82 Frontiers journals.
