Context:

Industry 4.0 has substantially changed the manufacturing processes, leading to smart factories with full digitalization, intelligence, and dynamic production. The need for rigorous and continuous development of highly networked software-intensive Industry 4.0 systems entails great challenges. Hence, Industry 4.0 requires new ways to develop, operate, and evolve these systems accordingly.

Objective:

We introduce the view of Continuous Systems and Software Engineering for Industry 4.0 (CSSE I4.0).

Method:

Based on our research and industrial projects, we propose this novel view and its core elements, including continuous twinning, which is also introduced first in this paper. We also discuss the existing industrial engagement and research that could leverage this view for practical application.

Results:

There are still several open issues, so we highlight the most urgent perspectives for future work.

Conclusions:

A disruptive view on how to engineer Industry 4.0 systems must be established to pave the way for the realization of the fourth industrial revolution.

工业4.0的连续系统和软件工程：颠覆性的观点

语境：

工业4.0极大地改变了制造过程，从而导致具有完整数字化，智能和动态生产的智能工厂。对高度网络化的软件密集型Industry 4.0系统的严格和持续开发的需求带来了巨大的挑战。因此，工业4.0需要相应的新方法来开发，操作和发展这些系统。

客观的：

我们介绍了针对工业4.0（CSSE I4.0）的连续系统和软件工程的观点。

方法：

根据我们的研究和工业项目，我们提出了这种新颖的观点及其核心要素，包括连续孪生，本文也首先介绍了这种观点。我们还将讨论可以利用这种观点进行实际应用的现有行业参与和研究。

结果：

仍然存在一些悬而未决的问题，因此我们重点介绍了未来工作中最紧迫的观点。

结论：

必须建立一种如何设计工业4.0系统的颠覆性观点，为第四次工业革命的实现铺平道路。
