Performance-driven evolutionary capabilities in virtual production ecosystems

This paper examines possible aids of performance measurement to the evolution in production ecosystems. A conceptual solution is proposed which derives from the potential of exponential technologies, theory and practice. By adopting an ecosystem approach, a twofold setup of performance has been designed that addresses both the performance of actors and the performance of ecosystem. The proposed mechanism applies Big Data and machine learning. The proof of concept was supported by a prototype of the virtual environment.
