Exchanging data between different systems enables us to build new smart services and
digitise various areas of our daily life. This digitalisation leads to more efficient usage of …

Today's software systems are neither built nor operated in isolation and have to adapt to
their environment. Uncertainty in the software and its context is inherently unavoidable and …

Information Systems Quality (ISQ) is a critical source of competitive advantages for
organizations. In a scenario of increasing competition on digital services, ISQ is a …

Maintaining an automated production system is a challenging task as it comprises artifacts
from multiple disciplines–namely mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. As the …

Abstract This paper introduces Behaviour Engineering-based Change Impact Analysis
(BECIA), a novel approach to Change Impact Analysis (CIA). BECIA enables visualization of …

Purpose The main contribution of the research is to propose a quantitative model based on
indicators designed by the authors, to measure the effect on the performance of the process …

Socio-cyber-physical systems (SCPSs) are cyber-physical systems (CPSs) with a socio-
technical system (STS) aspect. Several SCPSs need to adapt dynamically to changing …

Modern software systems usually consist of multiple components, eg, libraries or (micro-)
services, that can be defined through their contract. These components are often developed …

Software systems need to evolve continuously in order to avoid becoming less useful.
However, repeated changes in the software may impede the inner quality of the system …

When modifying a cyber-physical system, the consequences of changes need to be
understood beforehand to adequately assess risks and costs. Model-based change impact …
