2024 has been highly productive, marked by the publication of numerous new SoSyM papers, the creation of a new SoSyM section dedicated to modeling tools, and the addition of new editors to our community. Some of the highlights: 💎 We bid farewell to two esteemed editors: Antonio Vallecillo and Connie Heitmeyer. Thanks for your continuous and outstanding support over the years! 🫶 💎 We introduced a new section dedicated to modeling tools: Thanks to our long-time SoSyM Editor, Jordi Cabot and our newest Editor, Abel Gómez, in leading this new tool paper focus area! 👏 💎Judith Michael is our new Editor in charge of social media for SoSyM 🎉 💎Our Associate Editor-in-Chief, Marsha Chechik, was named an ACM Fellow. Congratulations! 🥳 Find some details about our 2024 statistics in the slideshow.

I am happy to share that our new paper "A study on the impact of the level of participation in enterprise modeling", led by Anne Gutschmidt and co-authored with Monique Snoeck, is published in the International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM).

🎉We are happy to share that our latest research, "𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀" by Alvaro Miyazawa, et al., has been published in Software and Systems Modeling! 🎉 🔎 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁?  Simulation is widely used in robotics, but challenges such as high development costs and lack of standardisation limit its usability. In this paper, we introduce RoboSim p-models, a diagrammatic, tool-independent domain-specific language for specifying physical models of robotic platforms and how they relate to RoboSim d-models, which account for software models. 🛠 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: ✅ A modular and extensible diagrammatic notation for explicitly specifying physical behaviours ✅ Validation rules to ensure well-formed models ✅ Model-to-model transformation to make RoboSim compatible with multiple simulators ✅ Formal mathematical semantics for reasoning about robotic systems 📌 This work extends our previous research on RoboSim by introducing block diagrams to describe physical models. These are linked to platform-independent control software models, enabling the automatic generation of simulations and mathematical models based on differential equations. 📖 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM): https://lnkd.in/eyzk_V2A. We look forward to discussions with the community on this exciting development! #Robotics #Simulation #Modeling #SoftwareEngineering #UML #SysML #RoboSim #Research #AutonomousSystems #FormalMethods #CyberPhysicalSystems

❓Is it possible to model software #fairness? That’s what we did in our latest work published at the International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM) 🎉 In this paper, we present #MODNESS: a model-driven framework to support the whole fairness assessment process through a dedicated Domain Specific Language ⚖️ We show how #MODNESS is able to cover several fairness assessment use cases, even less common ones like recommendation systems, overcoming existing baselines. A big thanks to my co-authors Claudio Di Sipio Antinisca Di Marco and Davide Di Ruscio for this great result! 🎉 The paper is available here https://lnkd.in/e3PAT3Ri SWEN research group #fairness #bias #software #mde #dsl

💡 Get ready for No.2 of our #SoSyM interview series! We provide first-hand insights into the past, present, and future of the SoSyM journal from the Editors-in-Chief. This time is our Editor-in-Chief Benoit Combemale in the spotlight!
