Track: Mastering Complexity for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
The high-tech equipment industry faces challenges to master an ever-increasing system complexity in response to pressing market demands for functionality, customization, evolvability, autonomy, security, smartness, and sustainability. Complexity also increases in response to emerging new technologies, e.g., AI. This growing complexity affects all phases of system development, from early architecting to implementation, verification, and evolution. It also affects the whole system life cycle, including its usage and disposal, which, in turn, influence the system design. Failure to manage this complexity can lead to errors, delays, and cost overruns for companies, impacting the leading position of the Dutch high-tech equipment industry and, ultimately, the country's earning capacity. The problem is exacerbated by a shortage of skilled people, requiring a substantial boost in engineers' productivity over the next decade to allow the efficient development of next-generation systems. This boost cannot happen without new engineering methodologies guiding, automating, and optimizing all the system architecting, design, and maintenance phases.
