  text: The current trend of integrating machines and factories into cyber-physical
    systems (CPS) creates an enormous complexity for operators of such systems. Especially
    the search for the root cause of cascading failures becomes highly time-consuming.
    Within this paper, we address the question on how to help human users to better
    and faster understand root causes of such situations. We propose a concept of
    interactive alarm flood reduction and present the implementation of a first vertical
    prototype for such a system. We consider this prototype as a first artifact to
    be discussed by the research community and aim towards an incremental further
    development of the system in order to support humans in complex error situations.

  text: Increasingly, production processes are enabled and controlled by Information
    Technology (IT), a development being also referred to as “Industry 4.0”. IT thereby
    contributes to flexible and adaptive production processes, and in this sense factories
    become “smart factories”. In line with this, IT also more and more supports human
    workers via various assistance systems. This support aims to both support workers
    to better execute their tasks and to reduce the effort and time required when
    working. However, due to the large spectrum of assistance systems, it is hard
    to acquire an overview and to select an adequate system for a smart factory based
    on meaningful criteria. We therefore synthesize a set of comparison criteria into
    a consistent framework and demonstrate the application of our framework by classifying
    three examples.
