Changes in the SoSyM team: 💎Marsha Chechik serves as new Editor-in-Chief together with Benoit Combemale, Jeff Gray and Bernhard Rumpe. 💎We welcome Sophia Jit as new Assistant Editor alongside Stéphanie Challita and Martin Schindler. 💎And farewell to Huseyin Ergin as Assistant Editor!

We all love interesting workshops at conferences where we hear about and can discuss most recent work, don't we? For me, it's always hard to decide which workshop to attend at #MODELSconf because there are so many interesting ones! I hope we can give you exactly this feeling at #MODELS2026!

A new #SoSyM #ThemeSection is on the way: “Data-intensive software product lines” edited by Miguel Rodríguez Luaces, Sandra Greiner and José Galindo! 📅 Deadlines: 10-Dec-2025: intent to submit 15-Jan-2026: submission More details in the CfP: www.sosym.org/theme_sectio...

Congratulations to Angelika Kusel, Johannes Schönböck. Manuel Wimmer, Gerti Kappel, Werner Retschitzegger and Wieland Schwinger for receiving the Ten-Year Most Influential Theme Section Paper Award 🏆of #SoSyM for their paper "Reuse in model-to-model transformation languages: are we there yet?".

The Ten-Year Most Influential Regular Paper Award 🏆of #SoSyM goes to Lukman Ab. Rahim & Jon Whittle for their work "A survey of approaches for verifying model transformations". Congratulations!

Travelling with Deutsche Bahn #DB: Being late for 45 mins on a planned 3h50 train ride and reaching the connecting train is counted as a success. 😅

🚀 New Rolling Theme Section: "Engineering Digital Twins" #SoSyM is launching a rolling theme section on Engineering Digital Twins, directly linked to the International Conference on Engineering Digital Twins (#EDTconf). ➡️ Details in the CfP: www.sosym.org/theme_sectio...
