TL;DR: There are significant roots in general and in particular to the CIRP community – which point towards CPPS, and expectations towards research in and implementation of CPS and CPPS are outlined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of hierarchy within the domain of shop floor control in manufacturing plants is examined, namely, hierarchical, heterarchical and holonic control systems, where the mapping of functions to control units remains flexible, such that decision power can be distributed over these units as needed.

TL;DR: In the paper, approaches to distributed manufacturing architectures are surveyed, and their fundamental features are highlighted, together with the main questions to be answered while designing new structures.

TL;DR: A simulation-based evaluation technique for the testing, validation and benchmarking of rescheduling methods for both single- and multi-machine (job-shop) cases is proposed.

TL;DR: The paper shows how a shared ontology-based framework can be used to generate consistent 3D virtual environments and discrete event simulation models, demonstrating this way how the proposed solution can provide an interoperable backbone for heterogeneous software tools.
