    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for interoperable data exchange between a first real-world entity and a second real-world entity with both real-world entities connected to a same communication network, the first and second real-world entities having first and second digital representations, respectively, each digital representation being a virtual entity replicating data, structure, and functions associated with any one of the real-world entities, the first and the second digital representations having different formats, the method, executed by at least one computing device of the second real-world entity, including: receiving a request for data of the second digital representation to be provided to the first digital representation; evaluating a set of predefined mapping strategies with each mapping strategy being associated with a target model template, by determining a mapping similarity measure for each mapping strategy based on similarities in a structure and semantics of respective data models of the first and second digital representations.

    Abstract: An industrial field device replacement system includes: an input unit; and a processing unit. The input unit receives an identification of a specific device to be replaced, the specific device being in a network of a plurality of devices, and the input unit providing the identification of the specific device to the processing unit. Prior to replacement of the specific device, the processing unit determines one or more further devices of the plurality of devices that would be affected by replacement of the specific device, the determination including utilization of the identification of the specific device. Prior to replacement of the specific device, the processing unit changes a mode of operation of the one or more further devices from a normal mode into a safe mode such that the one or more further devices will not be affected when the specific device is not available.
