Towards Flexible and Secure End-to-End Communciation in Industry 4.0

In this paper, we develop a CPPS meta-model and use it to describe an end-to-end communication use case from an ongoing research project. Based on this use case we develop a business process performance and security trade-off model. Motivated by the results, we additionally present self adaptation as a solution towards a fexible and secure end-to-end communication. To identify and document the self-adaptation points in a structured methodological and lightweight way we use the bespoken CPPS meta-model.
