Petra Kaufmann studied Business Informatics at the Vienna University of Technology where she received her PhD degree for her thesis on conflict resolution in model versioning. Currently she is a post doctoral researcher at the Business Informatics Group, where she is working on the project FAME (Formalizing and Managing Evolution in Model-Driven Engineering). Her research is focused on model-driven engineering with special emphasis on model evolution, model versioning, and model transformation.
With the number of vehicles, both private and commercial, in urban areas steadily increasing, accurate traffic information becomes an increasingly important commodity A change in transport policy, e.g., increased use of public transport and efficient inter-modal transport, will only have a medium to long-term effect on improving the traffic situations in inner-city areas.
Like traditional program code, software models are not resistant to change, but evolve over time by undergoing continuous extensions, corrections, and modifications. In model-driven engineering (MDE), evolution is multidimensional leading to the model management tasks of synchronization, versioning, and co-evolution.
The development of complex software systems requires appropriate abstraction mechanisms in terms of model-driven engineering techniques (MDE) and proper support for allowing developers to work in parallel in terms of version control systems (VCS).
