Abstract
Production systems are no longer rigid, unyielding, and isolated systems anymore. They are rather interconnected cyber-physical systems with an evolution process that needs to be supported. To enable reusability in evolution, a change-first cooperative support is proposed that relies on model-based evolution steps. The approach establishes a network-wide evolution process in a peer-to-peer networked community. Thus, moving towards decentralised marketplaces for evolution steps.
Zusammenfassung
Produktionssystem sind schon lange nicht mehr starre und isolierte Systeme, sondern entwickeln sich zu verbundenen Cyber-Physikalischen Systemen, die dem ständigen Wandel ihrer Evolution ausgesetzt sind. Um Änderungen als zentrale Bausteine der Evolution zu etablieren, werden modellbasierte Evolutionsschritte vorgestellt. Diese sollen einen kooperativen Evolutionsprozess unterstützen, der als Grundlage für maschinenzentrierte, dezentrale Informationsmarktplätze dienen soll.
