@inproceedings{63652, abstract = {{In dynamic environments, product management plays a key role in aligning innovation, customer needs, and strategic decision-making. Digitalization offers significant opportunities to enhance this role by enabling data-driven insights for improved customer and product understanding—yet its successful implementation requires a fundamental transformation. Based on a systematic literature review, this study synthesizes key advantages, challenges, and design fields that shape this transformation. The results highlight performance benefits across business, product, process, and decision-making dimensions, while also uncovering barriers rooted in strategy, organization, people, and technology. To address these barriers, critical enablers and conditions for success are identified. Four overarching design fields provide orientation for structuring digitalization efforts and guiding organizational change in industrial practice. The paper provides both a conceptual foundation and a practical guide for companies seeking to digitalize their product management effectively.}}, author = {{Fichtler, Timm and Petzke, Lisa Irene and Grigoryan, Khoren and Koldewey, Christian and Dumitrescu, Roman}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 59th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences}}, location = {{Maui, Hawaii}}, title = {{{Enhancing Product Management Performance through Digitalization: Advantages, Challenges, Design Fields}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inproceedings{64075, author = {{Humpert, Lynn and Graunke, Jannis and Cichon, Gerrit and Ammanagi, Anuradha and Schierbaum, Anja and Dumitrescu, Roman}}, booktitle = {{2025 IEEE International Symposium on Systems Engineering (ISSE)}}, publisher = {{IEEE}}, title = {{{Generative AI in Systems Engineering: Automated Creation of System Architectures and Early-Stage Calculation in the B2B Sector}}}, doi = {{10.1109/isse65546.2025.11370000}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{64223, abstract = {{The complexity and interconnectivity of modern automotive systems are rapidly increasing, particularly with the rise of distributed and cooperative driving functions. These developments increase exposure to a range of disruptions, from technical failures to cyberattacks, and demand a shift towards resilience-by-design. This study addresses the early integration of resilience into the automotive design process by proposing a structured method for identifying gaps and eliciting resilience requirements. Building upon the concept of resilience scenarios, the approach extends traditional hazard and threat analyses as defined in ISO 26262, ISO 21448 and ISO/SAE 21434. Using a structured, graph-based modeling method, these scenarios enable the anticipation of functional degradation and its impact on driving scenarios. The methodology helps developers to specify resilience requirements at an early stage, enabling the integration of resilience properties throughout the system lifecycle. Its practical applicability is demonstrated through an example in the field of automotive cybersecurity. This study advances the field of resilience engineering by providing a concrete approach for operationalizing resilience within automotive systems engineering.}}, author = {{Mpidi Bita, Isaac and
