The industrial production landscape is significantly affected by digitization. In the course of this development, various paradigms have been proposed, such as ubiquitous manufacturing, distributed manufacturing or, most recently, cloud manufacturing. A selective discussion and interpretation these similar concepts remains in literature a research gap. Following call for research, aim paper to ...
