Description

We expand the design theory for cyber physical systems by introducing the notion of mutability of legacy components. Mutability refers to the extent components of the legacy system can be modified to facilitate better integration with the information system components. In particular, immutable components must remain untouched during the introduction of a cyber physical system. We explore our propositions considering a design showcase for an automated checkout system for retail fashion environments. The artifact consists of an RFID sensor infrastructure and data-driven software components that process the low-level sensor data to provide seamless checkout functionality. The system is evaluated by means of a comprehensive trial in a presentative retail laboratory.
