Keynote Title: Variability Modeling for and with Digital Twins
Keynote Abstract: Due to the vast usage and importance of cyber-physical systems as a backbone of our society, the design, realization, operation, and maintenance of such systems are becoming more and more challenging. As an answer, digital twins are emerging in many domains and are gaining attention to support different phases of the system lifecycle such as design-space exploration, runtime adaptation, and predictive maintenance. While benefits of using digital twins are already demonstrated for different domains, the systematic development and operation of digital twins which represent complex software systems are still major challenges, especially when support for different variants and versions is required.
Bio: Manuel Wimmer is full professor and head of the Institute of Business Informatics – Software Engineering at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. His research interests comprise foundations of software engineering and their application in various fields such as cyber-physical systems, quantum computing, and digital twins. He serves as associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Software and Systems Modeling, and Business & Information Systems Engineering. He served as program co-chair for several conferences (e.g., QSW 2025, ICWE 2023, MODELS 2022, FASE 2022, SEAA 2020, ICMT 2015) and as general co-chair for SE 2024 and MODELS 2024. Currently he is co-organizing the 2nd International Conference on Engineering Digital Twins (EDTconf 2025). For more information, please visit: https://www.se.jku.at/manuel-wimmer
