  text: Increasing heterogeneity of industrial network systems is a fact and the chances
    that in the future one communication standard will be able to fulfill the requirements
    of all possible applications are utopian. With the increasing number of communication
    systems, their management, configuration, and maintenance become a significant
    issue. Additionally, due to the increasing amount of network services and traffic,
    the management of available network resources and the possibility of delivering
    certain levels of communication quality of service, especially across different
    network solutions becomes a big challenge. Therefore, in this paper a Controller
    of Controllers (CoC) concept for management of heterogeneous industrial networks
    is proposed. The concept is designed to support still widely spread legacy fieldbus
    systems, different Ethernet-based industrial solutions, and potentially upcoming
    network technologies. The goal is achieved by leveraging state-of-the-art architectural
    concepts such as software-defined networks, which allows for integration of abstract
    models in network management. The concept is described and discussed by way of
    a demonstrator concept for a heterogeneous system of fieldbus and Ethernet-based
    time-sensitive networks.
