Abstract: A method for automatic generation of a specification for an IT topology of a control system, the method comprising: creating a system structure from a machine-readable data defining production process requirements and generating specification data of the IT topology based on the extracted system structure; optimizing the generated specification data of the IT topology by utilization of pre-defined rules and generating abstract aggregated IT topology data based on the optimized specification data; and instantiating and mapping the abstract aggregated IT topology data to specific technology instance data.

Abstract: A federated orchestration system includes a plurality of intraplant orchestrators assigned to respective ones of a plurality of production plants, wherein each intraplant orchestrator is operative to execute one or more intraplant orchestration tasks regarding the respective production plant; and an interplant orchestrator operative to execute one or more interplant orchestration tasks. The interplant orchestrator and the intraplant orchestrators are operative to cooperate to orchestrate resources and services of the plurality of production plants.

Abstract: A method for providing a network configuration for an industrial network includes discovering network topology data by a network configuration agent (NCA); receiving communication intent data from a network device; commissioning and identifying a remote network engine; forwarding the discovered network topology data and the received communication intent data to the remote network engine and requesting by the NCA the remote network engine for calculating network configuration data indicating network configurations; calculating the network configuration data on the provided network topology data and the received communication intent data; providing the calculated network configuration data to the NCA and distributing the calculated network configuration data to the network device, and initiating a network configuration in the industrial network.

Abstract: A method for creating a virtual deployment of a distributed control system (DCS) for a given industrial process, comprising: providing a topology of the assets executing the industrial process, as well as control logic for controlling these assets; providing at least one I/O simulator that is configured to supply data; determining a topology of devices that form part of the DCS; establishing based at least in part on this topology of devices, at least one declarative and/or imperative description of the DCS that characterizes multiple devices of the DCS, their placement, and their connections; creating virtual instances of the devices of the DCS and their connections in a chosen environment.
