“…These differences in technology, organizational culture, and function created a gulf between the OT and IT environments, creating barriers to capitalizing on the potential benefits of OT-IT convergence. However, for the paradigm of the smart factory to be fully realized, such systems need to be implicitly integrated [6].…”

The potential benefits of the adoption of cyber-physical production systems (CPPSs) and their significant role in enabling smart manufacturing is well recognized today. However, it is less clear how such CPPS can be most effectively and consistently engineered and maintained throughout their lifecycle due to the existing divide in the information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) landscape and ad hoc integration practices that result in inconsistent data and data models at various levels of manufacturing processes. The work presented in this article addresses this problem by envisioning a connective framework to support the engineering of CPPS through the use of a set of digital twins consistent with the real system throughout its lifecycle, not just used in the design and deployment phases. A review of the latest perspectives on using digital integration frameworks, methods, and solutions for lifecycle engineering of CPPS is provided in this article. This article demonstrates how a suitable framework, named SIMPLE, can be realized to effectively address the lack of consistent data models throughout the engineering lifecycle, including implementation details and example cases developed by the authors at the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) in selected industrial Manuscript

“…The appropriate handling of these behaviors is important to a large scale self-adaptive system like IoT. Common research focuses like new languages [11], evaluation and testing [70], [221], modelling [85], learning [50], [219], [249], recovery [23], uncertainty [246], and integration [44] were seen in this phase. A general review of selfimproving system integration can be found in [26] and industrial experience reports in [161], [250].…”

Championed by IBM's vision of autonomic computing paper in 2003, the autonomic computing research field has seen increased research activity over the last 20 years. Several conferences (SEAMS, SASO, ICAC) and workshops (SISSY) have been established and have contributed to the autonomic computing knowledge base in search of a new kind of system -a self-adaptive system (SAS). These systems are characterized by being context-aware and can act on that awareness. The actions carried out could be on the system or on the context (or environment). The underlying goal of a SAS is the sustained achievement of its goals despite changes in its environment. Despite a number of literature reviews on specific aspects of SASs ranging from their requirements to quality attributes, we lack a systematic understanding of the current state of the art. This paper contributes a systematic literature review into self-adaptive systems using the dblp computer science bibliography as a database. We filtered the records systematically in successive steps to arrive at 293 relevant papers. Each paper was critically analyzed and categorized into an attribute matrix. This matrix consisted of five categories, with each category having multiple attributes. The attributes of each paper, along with the summary of its contents formed the basis of the literature review that spanned 30 years . We characterize the maturation process of the research area from theoretical papers over practical implementations to more holistic and generic approaches, frameworks, and exemplars, applied to areas such as networking, web services, and robotics, with much of the recent work focusing on IoT and IaaS.

“…When formalizing the semantics of mappings between data models, a mapping language is required [8]. For example, Burzlaff and Bartelt [17] used a firstorder logic language called OWL-DL. OWL-DL is a formal language with SHOIN expressivity [18].…”

“…7. Desktop-based vs. Web-based User Experience: Although desktop-based integration IDEs may offer more functionality and are more expressive [17], we chose a web-based integration frontend for mapping definition. The main reason for this lies within the overall usability goal of integration tools.…”

More and more devices are connected to Internet of Things Platforms in various application domains. The resulting device integration effort is moderated by the concrete integration syntax and the technical abilities of the device integrator. Therefore, researchers from various communities have been investigating and designing component coupling architectures to achieve interoperability for more than 30 years. Emerging Smart Home scenarios challenges classical integration approaches as no single formal integration standard exists. In this paper we introduce a reference architecture called MergePoint that automates HTTP-Endpoint integration with smart home platforms such as openHAB in a plug-and-play manner. Based on a prototypical system implementation, our empirical evaluation demonstrates that average integration time can be reduced by 78% and average tool usability score is increased by 65% compared to textual integration approaches. MergePoint can serve as a reference implementation for practitioners that want to automate the integration between HTTP-Endpoints and IoT Platform Models.
