Description
According to the current state of research, the present predominant understanding of cyber-physical systems (CPS) is technical and not driven by business or service related abstractions. The purpose of this paper is to provide other researchers with a framework to analyze service architectures of CPS. A service architecture transforms the value proposition of a service system into a configuration of actors, resources, and activities of value co-creation. The developed framework distinguishes from the current state of research by considering CPS as complex service systems and, in particular, by applying Service-Dominant logic (S-D logic) to the field of CPS. The intention is to build the basis for further research on CPS service innovation, novel value propositions, CPS business model innovations, and collaborative and contextualized value creation. The methodological approach of this contribution is mainly conceptual, but combines conceptual research with systematic literature analyses and an empirical illustration.
