“The work gives a valuable perspective on the tendencies of present and future multidisciplinary cyber-physical production systems; thus, it is theoretical to a great extent. It contains examples and use cases from diverse domains. It would be an important and useful reading for people at the top of the production process, at the decision making or design levels. They will find a range of important issues characterizing cyber-physical production systems, enabling them to keep searching for consistent solutions.” (Svetlana Segarceanu, Computing Reviews, May, 2018)
