This book presents cutting-edge emerging technologies and approaches in the areas of service-oriented architectures, intelligent devices and cloud-based cyber-physical systems. It provides a clear view on their applicability to the management and automation of manufacturing and process industries. It offers a holistic view of future industrial cyber-physical systems and their industrial usage and also depicts technologies and architectures as well as a migration approach and engineering tools based on these.

By providing a careful balance between the theory and the practical aspects, this book has been authored by several experts from academia and industry, thereby offering a valuable understanding of the vision, the domain, the processes and the results of the research. It has several illustrations and tables to clearly exemplify the concepts and results examined in the text and these are supported by four real-life case-studies.

We are witnessing rapid advances in the industrial automation, mainly driven by business needs towards agility and supported by new disruptive advances both on the software and hardware side, as well as the cross-fertilization of concepts and the amalgamation of information and communication technology-driven approaches in traditional industrial automation and control systems. This book is intended for technology managers, application designers, solution developers, engineers working in industry, as well as researchers, undergraduate and graduate students of industrial automation, industrial informatics and production engineering.

Results are applied to Automation in production having Collaborative automation as a long term vision. He has published more than 150 papers in peer reviewed journals and conferences. He is currently the coordinator of Europe's largest automation project Arrowhead. He is further a member of the steering board of Artemisia, ProcessIt Innovations and ProcessIT.EU.

Dr. Petr Stluka is Engineering Fellow in Honeywell Labs and lead of the Data-Centric Technology group since 2004, driving research efforts of the group in the fields of statistical modelling, predictive analytics, optimisation and decision support in application areas related to industrial process plants, buildings and homes. In his role, he is closely working with Honeywell technology and marketing leaders and contributing actively to strategic roadmaps. He received MSc in 1995 and PhD in 1998 from Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, both in the field of technical cybernetics. Petr Stluka has seven U.S. patents and has authored more than five other patent applications. He is author or co-author of more than 50 technicalpublications. His research interests include alarm management, event processing techniques, and industrial energy efficiency.

Prof. Robert Harrison is Director of the Automation Systems Group in WMG at the University of Warwick. He has core expertise in the design and application of reconfigurable automation systems and related virtual engineering tools and methods. He is the author of over 150 peer-reviewed international journal and conference papers. Working very closely with industry, Prof Harrison has international experience in SOA and component-based systems engineering. He has been involved in many European and national projects including IMC-AESOP, SOCRADES and EPSRC Business Driven Automation, and his current research in the field of cyber-physical systems includes the EPSRC Knowledge Driven Configurable Manufacturing, ARTEMIS Arrowhead, and the TSB Direct Digital Deployment and Augmented Manufacturing Reality projects.

Francois Jammes was the director of the ``Web services'' internal Schneider Electric project, which was investigating and deploying the SOA concepts and Web services technology inside the group. He is a Schneider Edison group senior expert, coordinating the relationship between this organisation and the other Schneider Business Units. He is involved in several Building Automation related European collaborative projects from the FP7 framework, and he is also an expert for the European Commission in this application domain. He is holding many European and international patents, and published many related articles in IEEE journals and conferences.

Prof. Jose Lastra joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Systems of Tampere University of Technology in January 2014 as the director of FAST-Lab, a research unit devoted to the seamless integration of humans' knowledge and intelligent machines/systems. His research interest is on applying ICT technologies to Factory Automation, with focus on manufacturing systems based on autonomous embedded networked production units. Prof. Lastra has authored over 200 scientific papers and holds a number of patents in the field of Industrial Automation. He has extensive experience in industry as consultant for the development of networked embedded control systems, including the first industrial implementations using Java-based embedded industrial controllers in USA.
