Sarah Riedmann

Sarah Riedmann is a Junior Researcher at the Information Technologies and Digitalisation Centre for Dependable Systems Engineering, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. She actively contributes to the Josef Ressel Centre for Dependable System-of-Systems Engineering (DeSoS) and Research Campus Schloss Urstein (RCSU), advancing Industry 4.0 implementation through reference architectures and simulation modeling.

Education:

• Information Technology and Systems Management, Dipl.-Ing., Salzburg University of Applied Sciences GmbH (2021)

Research Focus: Her work centers on RAMI 4.0 integration, resource capability modeling, and stakeholder-specific reference architectures. She investigates reinforcement learning applications in production systems and dependable system-of-systems engineering, addressing critical gaps in smart manufacturing resilience and design principle compliance.

Publication Analysis: 2024 outputs reveal concentrated innovation in Industry 4.0 architecture frameworks, with dual emphasis on theoretical extensions (domain-specific languages for RAMI 4.0) and practical implementations (smart campervan retrofits). Her research consistently bridges reference architecture theory with production system validation, demonstrating cross-domain applicability from embedded systems to smart grids.

Scientific Awards: No awards documented in source materials.

Research Leadership: As Co-Investigator on major initiatives:

• RCSU: Research Campus Schloss Urstein (2023-2025) focusing on applied Industry 4.0 campus development
• DeSoS: Josef Ressel Centre for Dependable System-of-Systems Engineering (2020-2025) advancing methodology for complex industrial systems

Collaborative Ecosystem: Operates within Salzburg University's digitalisation centre alongside interdisciplinary teams from engineering, computer science, and industrial partners, driving Austria's Josef Ressel Centre research agenda in dependable systems engineering.
