Traditional CPS engineering often focuses strictly on technical hardware/software integration. However, modern industrial environments (like Industry 4.0 ) involve human-machine collaboration, which adds unpredictable social and organizational layers. Applying SSM to CPS allows for: : A qualitative modeling process used to address
: Using SSM-based guidelines to help Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) adopt CPS by accounting for limited expertise and shifting employee roles. However, modern industrial environments (like Industry 4
: Moving from rigid hierarchical structures to decentralized "heterarchical" models where machines and humans make autonomous decisions together.
: Evaluating technologies like RFID or Mixed Reality in classrooms by capturing student/teacher perceptions to change pedagogical methods systematically.
