Semantic Models for Trustworthy Systems: A Hybrid Intelligence Augmentation Program
Cyber-human systems are formed by the coordinated interaction of human and computational components. In this talk, I will argue that these systems can only be designed as trustworthy systems if the interoperation between their components is meaning preserving. For that, we need to take the challenge of semantic interoperability between these components very seriously. I will discuss a notion of trustworthy semantic models and defend its essential role in addressing this challenge. Finally, I will advocate that engineering and evolving these semantic models as well as the languages in which they are produced require a hybrid intelligence augmentation program resting on a combination of techniques including formal ontology, logical representation and reasoning, crowd-sourced validation, and automated approaches to mining and learning.

Model-driven Design and Automation of Process Orchestrations in Manufacturing
Manufacturing is a domain that spans a broad range of process orchestration scenarios with different requirements regarding the degree of automation and human involvement. Moreover, context is provided in manufacturing orchestrations by a rich set of sensor streams that (externally) influence the process execution and outcome. In this keynote, the model-driven design and automation of different real-world manufacturing scenarios is presented. We explain the arising challenges and how they can be met by existing process technologies. Future research directions and opportunities, in particular, the interplay of process automation and process mining conclude the keynote.
More detailsSocial Event and Dinner
Prepare to be enchanted on the second evening of our conference with a blend of art, history, and culinary excellence. The evening begins with a visit to the distinguished Barberini Museum, where you’ll have the unique opportunity to explore the hauntingly beautiful works of Edvard Munch.
Don’t forget to bring your vouchers and badge to the museum and to the restaurant for admission!
Getting to the Barberini Museum
There are connections from HPI/Griebnitzsee to the museum every ten minutes. Starting at Griebnitzsee, take the S-Bahn
S7to Potsdam Main Station depaturing at 15:47 (alternatives running :37, :57, …). From there, you can either have a short walk of ten minutes (700 m) to the museum, or take the tram92(destination: Kirschallee) at 15:57 (or :47, :07), exit at the stop “Alter Markt/Landtag”, and walk four minutes (300 m) to the entrance.See the public transport section for more information.
After immersing yourself in the world of Munch, we’ll transition from the artistic to the historic as we journey through the picturesque city of Potsdam. Whether you choose to take a leisurely walk or opt for the convenience of public transportation, the path to our dinner destination is as delightful as the destination itself.
Getting from the museum to the restaurant
Public transportation: There are several bus lines that run from the Museum to the vicinity of the restaurant: Either take the bus
695(destination: Alt-Golm) at 17:40 or 18:00 from the stop “Schloßstraße” (6 min. from museum) and get off at stop “Schloss Sanssouci” right next to the restaurant. Or take the bus line614(destination: Gutenpaaren) at 17:19 or line650(destination: Nauen) at 17:38, both departing from the stop “Alter Markt/Landtag” (5 min. from museum), and exit at the stop “Schloss Sanssouci/Bornstedter Str.” from where it is a five minute walk to the restaurant. All connections take approximately 20 minutes, including walking time.Schedules are subject to change. See the public transport section for more information.
Walking: If you’re feeling up for a bit more adventure, a walk from the museum to the restaurant offers a delightful way to experience some of Potsdam’s most scenic spots as the evening begins to unfold. Our recommended stroll, about 3 km or roughly 40 minutes, leads through the city center, taking you past the Brandenburg Gate (yes, there’s one here too!), and towards the picturesque scene of the water fountain set against the backdrop of Sanssouci within its renowned park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, you’ll pass the actual historic mill before arriving at the restaurant. See recommended route
Alternatively, the Barberini Museum app offers an “Italy in Potsdam” audio tour, which takes you from the museum to Park Sanssouci, providing interesting insights into the history and background of various places and buildings (available in German and Italian only).
The evening continues at the exquisite ‘Zur historischen Mühle’ restaurant, nestled right beside the enchanting Park Sanssouci. Here, amidst historical elegance and natural beauty, we’ll enjoy a delightful conference dinner. This is more than just a meal; it’s a chance to unwind, connect, and savor the local flavors in a setting that’s as culturally rich as it is picturesque. This night promises to be a memorable journey through culture, history, and gastronomy. We look forward to sharing it with you!
Getting back to Potsdam City Center
In the late evening, the only bus that runs near the restaurant is the line
695(destination: Potsdam main station). It leaves every hour at :13 from the stop “Schloss Sanssouci”. Alternatively, you can walk for 17 minutes (1.3 km) to the stop “Luisenplatz-Süd”, where there are plenty of options for getting around even in the late evening.

Models for Human-Machine Teaming for Shared Decision-Making under Uncertainty
There is growing uncertainty about the runtime environment of software systems. Therefore, how the system should behave under different contexts cannot be fully predicted at design time. It is considerations such as these that have led to the development of self-adaptive systems (SAS), which can dynamically and autonomously reconfigure their behaviour to respond to changing external conditions. The use of Machine Learning (ML) and AI has exacerbated the issues by adding more uncertainty sources. The scope of the talk is in the areas of Model-driven Engineering (MDE), Requirements Engineering (RE), software engineering (SE), and the development of techniques to quantify uncertainty to improve decision-making. The explicit treatment of uncertainty by the running system improves its judgment to make decisions supported by evaluating evidence found during runtime, possibly including the human-in-the-loop. The speaker will discuss how quantification of uncertainty can improve requirement elicitation (using simulations, for example). The talk will also cover different approaches to quantifying uncertainty, models@run.time and their role in Human-Machine Teaming.

Discover Potsdam
What to do in Potsdam
Potsdam offers a delightful blend of historical, cultural, and natural attractions that can make for a memorable experience. Known for its magnificent palaces and gardens, it has a rich history that dates back several centuries and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here are a few suggestions on how to enjoy your free evening in this beautiful city:
Visit the Dutch Quarter: After exploring Sanssouci, head to the Dutch Quarter (Holländisches Viertel), an area with over 150 red brick buildings in Dutch style. This unique architectural ensemble was built in the 18th century to attract Dutch craftsmen. Today, the area is bustling with cafes, boutiques, and galleries, making it a perfect place to wander, shop, and enjoy a coffee break.
Enjoy a boat tour on the Havel: Potsdam is surrounded by lakes and rivers, making a boat tour an excellent way to see the city from a different perspective. An evening cruise on the Havel River can offer stunning views of the city’s palaces and parks against the backdrop of a setting sun. It’s a relaxing way to wind down your afternoon before dinner.
Dine in the historic city center: For dinner, head to the historic city center near Brandenburger Straße, where you can find a variety of restaurants offering everything from traditional German cuisine to international dishes. Enjoy a meal in one of the charming outdoor terraces if the weather permits.
Attend a performance at the Hans Otto Theater: If you’re interested in the arts, check the schedule at the Hans Otto Theater, located on the banks of the Havel River. The theater hosts a range of performances, including plays, concerts, and dance, making for a culturally enriching evening.
Public Transport in Potsdam
The S-Bahn, busses, and trams connect most common places in Potsdam. You can use the offical website of the VBB, the local public transport authority, to search for connections. The VBB covers Berlin and whole Brandenburg, including Potsdam, so you can use it for connections to and from Berlin, too.
Tickets
Each bus and tram in Potsdam has a ticket vending machine inside where you can buy your ticket. For the S-Bahn, you need to buy the ticket in advance at a machine on the platform. (You can also buy tickets prior to your ride on your mobile phone, using the VBB app.) When searching for a connection, the website/app will show you available ticket options.
Usually, you can choose between either a single fare ticket (2,60 €), a 4-trip ticket (4x independent single fare tickets for 8,40 €), or a 24h ticket (5,50 €). (Prices shown in brackets are for the area Potsdam AB, which is sufficient for traveling from Griebnitzsee (B) to Potsdam City Center (A)). When you buy a ticket from a vending machine, you still might need to validate it at a small greenish box in the bus/tram, depending on the type of ticket bought.
