Identification of Critical Properties of Circular Software-defined Products
Masterthesis
In collaboration with the Institute for Product Development and Machine Elements (PMD), a new research initiative is being launched in the field of Circular Software Defined Products (CSDP). The aim of this work is to systematically review the current state of research and identify key characteristics, requirements, and design criteria that contribute to the development of CSDP.

- Literature research on “software-defined products,” proposal for a formal description and differentiation from the terms “software-defining products” and “software-differentiated products”
- Model description of SDP, e.g., in the form of functional structures
- Identification of key characteristics of SDP, particularly with regard to circularity and the necessary/sufficient product features in hardware and software
- Derivation of requirements for an SDD
- Application of findings to an example of a CSDP (freely selectable in consultation)
