Consistent development of cyber-physical systems (in medical technology)

In the course of the ongoing digitalization of technical systems, cyber-physical systems (CPS) have established themselves as a central component and significant source of potential for a more efficient and sustainable future. However, the combination of hardware and software, as required for a CPS, not only offers opportunities, but also poses new challenges for product development due to the associated increase in complexity.
The numerous interactions between the individual subsystems of a CPS and the involvement of different domains in the development process pose a particular challenge. The resulting diversity of models and modeling languages leads to isolated views of the subsystems to be developed.
A central, as yet unsolved problem in the development of cyber-physical systems is the consistency between the different views and models. Dependencies between these different views and models are often insufficiently documented or even unknown. The aim of this call for proposals is to tackle precisely this challenge and generate innovative ideas for the consistent development of cyber-physical systems.

Task:

This is a general call for applications on the topic of "Consistency in the development of cyber-physical systems", also with reference to medical technology.
Are you looking for a thesis in the field of methodical product/process development? Or do you have your own proposal in this context? Together we will find a suitable topic that will enable you to write an exciting thesis, reflect your interests and provide sustainable added value for research.

Your Profile:

• Students of engineering, computer science or economics
• Interest in interdisciplinary collaboration and the development of innovative solutions
• Willingness to familiarize yourself with various specialist areas
• Interest in product development and innovation management
• Structured way of working

Students have the opportunity to gain comprehensive insights into the field of cyber-physical systems and to develop innovative solutions for current challenges in product development.
