Cyber-physical systems as the technical foundation for problem solutions in manufacturing, logistics and supply chain management

The aim of this paper is the identification of a superordinate research framework for describing emerging IT-infrastructures within manufacturing, logistics and Supply Chain Management. This is in line with the thoughts and concepts of the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as with accompanying developments, namely the Internet of Services (IoS), Mobile Computing (MC), Big Data Analytics (BD) and Digital Social Networks (DSN). Furthermore, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and their enabling technologies as a fundamental component of all these research streams receive particular attention. Besides of the development of an eponymous research framework, relevant applications against the background of the technological trends as well as potential areas of interest for future research, both raised from the economic practice's perspective, are identified.
