We have five accepted papers for this year’s MODELS’ co-located and satellite events; and in addition, we lead the organization of two workshops.
Accepted papers
Sharon Liu, PhD candidate in our lab, got her first scientific paper published at the 1st International Conference on Engineering Digital Twins (EDTConf). Sharon’s work, “AI Simulation by Digital Twins: Systematic Survey of the State of the Art and a Reference Framework” [preprint], provides the first in-depth overview on how digital twins can aid the development of AI training environments. This work has been invited to the related SoSyM Special Issue.
Kyanna Dagenais, research assistant in our lab, got her first scientific papers published – two, to be precise. In her work on “Driving Requirements Evolution by Engineers’ Opinions” [preprint], accepted for this year’s International Workshop on Multi-Paradigm Modeling for Cyber-Physical Systems (MPM4CPS), Kyanna shows how model consistency can be used for the calibration of uncertainty in subjective logic. Kyanna also got her paper “Towards Model Repair by Human Opinion–Guided Reinforcement Learning” [preprint] accepted for this year’s ACM Student Research Competition, in which she reports her novel approach on guiding reinforcement learning agents by human guidance under uncertainty and using it for finding optimal paths among particularly long edit transactions. Earlier, Kyanna also received the ACM-W Scholarship to attend MODELS.
Two additionals works have been published with international collaborators. Istvan David, together with Rajitha Manellanga (Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology, Sri Lanka) published their work “Participatory and Collaborative Modeling of Sustainable Systems: A Systematic Review” [preprint] at this year’s International Workshop on Collaborative and Participatory Modeling. Istvan, together with Judith Michael (RWTH Aachen, Germany) and Dominik Bork (TU Vienna, Austria) also published their work “Digital Twin Evolution for Sustainable Smart Ecosystems” at the 18th edition of the International Workshop on Models and Evolution.
Workshops
International Workshop on Collaborative and Participatory Modeling (CoPaMo), the successor of the Hands-on Workshops on Collaborative Modeling (HoWCoM): full-day, very intensive workshop with eleven accepted papers and a keynote.
1st International Workshop on Sustainability and Modeling (SusMod): half-day workshop with four accepted papers.
