Engineering! Towards a Continuous (Model-Based) Software Engineering Software and systems engineering is a complex endeavor that encompass various socio-technical activities. These activities are traditionally orchestrated over a development life cycle from development time to operation time, and applying engineering processes both at design and run times, and at the application and doma [...] While such an organization was important at the inception of the discipline (divide and conquer!), I argue during this talk this is now hurting the high degree of adaptability we need in software and systems engineering to face what I call the software hyper agility. [...] This requires a continuous (model-based) engineering of such complex cyber-physical, socio-technical, ecosystems. In this context, I will discuss challenges related to variability management and abstraction engineering to better support a feedback-driven software development process, and explore the concepts of engineering forge and digital twins as key enablers. 25
