About

Angelika Musil is a leading researcher in the engineering of complex, software-intensive systems, with a primary focus on Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) and Industry 4.0. Her work addresses the critical challenge of coordinating heterogeneous engineering artifacts—such as system plans, models, and tool data—that are essential for designing modern production environments. In her highly cited 2021 paper (26 citations), Musil introduced an innovative asset-based coordination artifact that enables domain experts to explicitly represent and manage dependencies between products, processes, and resources. This contribution directly tackles the fragmentation that plagues production systems engineering, offering a structured way to align diverse stakeholder perspectives. Beyond this landmark work, Musil’s research spans software architecture, knowledge management, and socio-technical systems, often emphasizing how human expertise can be integrated with digital tools. Her impact is evident in the growing adoption of her coordination models in both academic research and industrial practice, where they help reduce errors and improve efficiency. Musil’s achievements have positioned her as a key voice in the push toward more agile, interconnected production systems, making her work essential reading for anyone interested in the future of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
