Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) are physical products which are equipped with embedded hardware and software, that may interact with their environment through sensors and actuators, and that may be networked with remote computers. Examples are modern networked cars and production machines in the smart factory. CPS pave the way for new digital business models based on CPS-enabled service offerings. This seminar addresses the phenomenon of digital industrial services based on cyber-physical systems and the Internet-of-Things.

Learning objectives and skills

The students

• will learn about different uses of CPS in digital industrial service systems.
• can adopt one of different research methods (literature-study, empirical or design research) in order to address a specific research question or research problem.
• will gain theoretical knowledge about digital industrial service systems based on cyber-physical systems and the Internet-of-Things as well as relevant technologies in this
• will train their research, writing, and presentation skills.
