About the authors
Birgit Vogel-Heuser graduated in electrical engineering and received the Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the RWTH Aachen. She worked for nearly ten years in industrial automation in the machine and plant manufacturing industry. After holding different chairs of automation she has been head of the Institute of Automation and Information Systems at the Technical University of Munich since 2009. Her research work is focused on modeling and education in automation engineering for distributed and intelligent systems. She has been speaker of the CRC 768, member of the coordination board of PP 1593 and 2422. She is IEEE fellow, member of acatech and since 2021 Vice-Dean Research and Innovation of the TUM School Engineering Design.
Tobias Kleinert graduated in Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University in 1999 and completed PhD in 2005 at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. He worked at BASF SE in Advanced Process Control, Process Control Systems, Regulated Automation Solutions, Manufacturing Execution Systems and Smart Manufacturing. In 2020, he assumed full professorship for at RWTH Aachen. His research and teaching include development of system solutions and general concept formation. Recent research activities address automated process data processing, configuration of component-based process control and virtualization for safe and secure automation systems. Besides collaborations with research institutions and industry, he is engaged in standardisation bodies like Plattform Industrie 4.0, DKE, VDI/VDE GMA, ZVEI and NAMUR.
Ina Schaefer is Professor of Software Engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. From 2012 to 2022 she was Professor for Software Engineering and Automotive Informatics at the TU Braunschweig. In her PhD at TU Kaiserslautern in 2008, she worked on model-based verification of adaptive systems. Today, her research focus is the integration of formal methods in software development through correctness-by-construction engineering, as well as quality assurance and analysis of variant-rich evolving software systems, especially in the automotive and automation domains. Ina Schaefer is co-chair of the expert group on the transformation of the automotive industry in the BMWK, as well as since October 1st, 2022, she has been speaker of the mobility laboratory of the KASTEL Security Research Labs at KIT.
