The Software-in-the-Loop 2026 conference brings together engineers, researchers, and decision‑makers who are shaping the next generation of software‑driven product development.

Discover how SIL is evolving into a scalable standard platform for developing and validating complex software and vehicle systems. The program focuses on architecture decisions, tool-chain design, and the organizational prerequisites needed to use SIL sustainably – both on‑premises and in the cloud.

Discuss practical approaches to multilevel modeling, scenario‑based validation, coverage metrics, and test orchestration. Additional key topics include interoperability and standards (e.g., FMI/FMU), co‑simulation, and the transfer and correlation of test cases between SIL and HIL, including aspects of traceability, safety, and compliance.

Learn how AI‑based methods enhance virtual testing, analysis, and scenario generation. Real‑world project reports provide concrete KPIs, lessons learned, and transparent insights into effort, quality, and ROI.

Initiated through close cooperation between Haus der Technik, Vector, and dSPACE, this conference is designed for everyone who not only wants to use SIL, but also scale, industrialize, and take economic responsibility for it – from engineering to management.

Join us for two days of practical insights, forward‑thinking discussions, and valuable networking within the SIL community.
