CPS State-of-the-art analysis and requirements specification

This deliverable addresses the study of the sum total of requirements that a truly autonomous and sustainable production system may pose. The deliverable encompasses a vast literature study that analyzes and structures over 20 years of work within the field of adaptable/evolvable/autonomous production systems. As the volume of work is considerable, the initial single deliverable has been sub-divided into two: Phase 1: First of all form a list of all potentially suitable requirements for a given set of expected characteristics. Phase 2: Structure, streamline and categorize the requirements in relation to forthcoming social & industrial transformations.
