Alexander Weber

Alexander Weber is a Research Associate at the Department of Software Systems Engineering (SSE) within the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics and Computer Science at the University of Hildesheim. His work focuses on advancing software engineering methodologies, particularly in the context of Industrial IoT, MLOps, and cyber-physical systems. He contributes to projects like IIP-Ecosphere and DevOpt, which aim to enhance intelligent production systems and control mechanisms for complex distributed systems.

• Education: M.Sc. in Computer Science

Research Interests:
His research emphasizes model-driven engineering, industrial automation, and the integration of machine learning into industrial applications. He explores challenges in MLOps for Industry 4.0, system architecture design, and performance optimization of IIoT platforms.

Recent Contributions:
At the 2024 ETFA conference, Weber co-authored a paper on model-driven specifications in Industrial Digital Twin Applications (IDTA). His work addresses compatibility and implementation challenges in industrial submodel specifications. He also contributed to an MLOps architecture for explainable AI (XAI) in industrial contexts, enhancing transparency and reliability in AI-driven production systems.

Projects & Funding: Involved in BMWi-funded IIP-Ecosphere and BMBF-supported DevOpt projects, focusing on next-gen production platforms and controlled emergent systems.

Labs/Teams: Part of the SSE team, collaborating with industry partners like Siemens and Phoenix Contact on cutting-edge software solutions.
