Digitization is among the core drivers for fundamental changes in the way we live and act. No area of life remains untouched by the far-reaching influence of digitization and people, politics, industry and education are urgently asked to adjust their means to the new opportunities and threats caused by digitization. It is fair to say that, with the all-embracing networking of people, assets and processes, as it can be found in the future projects Industry 4.0 and IoT, a new era of digitization is envisioned Digitization 4.0. From the perspective of software engineering and academic education, the adoption of novel principles in joint development of digital products and services as well as interdisciplinary education, is fundamental to pave the way for a successful future implementation of Digitization 4.0.
