Cyber-Physical Systems as Service Systems: Implications for S-D Logic

Purpose – According to the current state of research, the present predominant understanding of cyberphysical systems (CPS) is technical and not driven by service related abstractions. To address this research gap, the author developed an alternative view of CPS in the form of a conceptual framework informed by S-D logic. It considers CPS as service systems in the sense of S-D logic. The present paper focuses on how the framework contributes to the advancement of S-D logic itself.
