🎉 Congrats to Dr. @BirchlerChris on defending his PhD “Cost-Effective End-to-End Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems in Virtual Environments”!
Research on scalable testing for safety-critical CPS: regression testing, ML methods & tooling with strong industry impact.
Well done!
📘 Excited to share our new book:
“Roadmap for DevOps in Cyber-Physical Systems: Challenges and Future Directions” (Springer Nature, 2025).
We explore how DevOps is evolving for CPS—from autonomous drones to smart vehicles—covering testing, deployment, and responsible AI.
The book is available on Amazon (lnkd.in/dnTtx9qF), Google Books (lnkd.in/d9jUzUGx), etc.
