Synthesis and reformulation of requirements on integrability.

Requirement/subrequirement	(Re)formulation	Related literature sources
Integrability 1	The CPPS shall provide mechanisms to integrate new heterogeneous components and systems that are unknown to it.	[24, 36, 37]
Integrability 1.1	The CPPS will connect to other CPSs and extract information from them that is used to support its operations.	[24, 26, 29, 36]
Integrability 1.2	The CPPM and subsystems shall provide reusable logical interfaces that enable the integration of new equipment.	[6, 24, 29, 31, 38]
Integrability 1.3	The CPPS shall use as the basis of its operation a domain specific language that in a uniform way enables CPPMs, subsystems, and human resources to describe their capabilities, operational requirements, and status to the CPPS.
