ABOUT

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are increasingly playing an important role in our day-to-day lives. Their applications spread over many domains such as in medical systems, transportation, energy, and telecommunication sectors. Thus, it is important to make sure that CPS are of high quality and provide reliable services. On the other hand, Digital Twins, which are a virtual representation of a system, are increasingly becoming predominant as it supports new software engineering activities (e.g., DevOps) that previously were not possible in complex systems like CPSs.

This track solicits paper on methods, approaches, tools, and empirical evaluations focusing on ensuring quality of Digital twins and CPSs. Given the importance of Digital Twins and CPSs in industry, we also encourage practitioners to submit papers covering experiences, technologies, lessons learnt, and future directions related to quality in Digital Twins and CPSs.
