- About:
Gerti Kappel is full professor at the Institute of Information Systems Engineering at TU Wien, in the Business Informatics Group. Prior to that, from 1993 to 2001, she was a full professor of computer science (database systems) and head of the Department of Information Systems at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
From 2016 to 2019, she was a member of the dean’s team of the Faculty of Informatics responsible for research, diversity, and financial affairs. Since the beginning of 2020 she acts as the dean of the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien.
Her current research interests include Model Engineering, Web Engineering, and Process Engineering, with a special emphasis on cyber-physical production systems. Striving for the unity of research and teaching, she co-authored and co-edited among others „UML@Work“ (dpunkt.verlag, 3rd ed, 2005), „UML@Classroom“ (Springer, 2015), and „Web Engineering“ (Wiley, 2006).

A Systematic Review of Cloud Modeling Languages
Alexander BergmayrUwe BreitenbücherNicolas FerryAlessandro RossiniArnor SolbergManuel WimmerFrank LeymannKeywords:
Astract: Modern cloud computing environments support a relatively high degree of automation in service provisioning, which allows
cloud service customers (CSC) to dynamically acquire services required for deploying cloud applications. Cloud modeling
languages (CMLs) have been proposed to address the diversity of features provided by cloud computing environments and
support different application scenarios, e.g., migrating existing applications to the cloud, developing new cloud applications,
or optimizing them. There is, however, still much debate in the research community on what a CML is and what aspects of
a cloud application and its target cloud computing environment should be modeled by a CML. Furthermore, the distinction
between CMLs on a fine-grained level exposing their modeling concepts is rarely made. In this article, we investigate the
diverse features currently provided by existing CMLs. We classify and compare them according to a common framework
with the goal to support CSCs in selecting the CML which fits the needs of their application scenario and setting. As a result,
not only features of existing CMLs are pointed out for which extensive support is already provided but also in which existing
CMLs are deficient, thereby suggesting a research agenda.

Interoperability and Integration in Future Production Systems
Manuel WimmerSiegfried ReichWernher BehrendtStefan ThalmannGeorg WeichhartAlois ZoitlKeywords:
Astract: Research in areas of Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 (I4.0), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), consider system-of-systems composed of hardware and software systems that seamless work together. Interoperability ranges from compatibility (systems do not disturb other systems, but no interaction between systems) to integration (systems that share a common model/worldview). Between these extremes a continuum of interoperability exists.
In any case, interoperability is a model-driven approach - in contrast to data-driven or machine-learning approaches, for example. In general, models contain modules, connections, and behavior descriptions of different types.
Integration and interoperability may not only be seen as (goal) states but also as processes. Changes in one system might trigger adaptation in other systems. However, in loose integration and interoperability settings there is more support for the evolution of models.
