Short Abstract: While there is a common understanding of good software architecture and appropriate methods to achieve it in computer science, a suitable architecture definition for automation software taking all relevant factors into account is still missing for Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs). Based on a workshop with international scientists with different perspectives on CPPSs, this paper presents influencing factors on automation software architecture. On this basis, we derive a joint definition for software architecture in CPPSs as well as challenges and future research potentials.
