  text: 'The real and effective ground of all new concepts dedicated to the current
    advanced factories, as well as to the future digital ones, is close cooperativity
    of scattered applications in highly heterogeneous systems. Communication is the
    key enabling component, and all new approaches are inspired in practice to the
    demanding characteristics of industrial networks. These kinds of computer networks,
    together with new technologies derived from distant application fields, are the
    main technological means to accelerate the fast evolution of modern factory systems.
    Due to various communication requirements coming from the plurality of structures,
    components and application contexts, communication subsystems must be increasingly
    heterogeneous. Let us say clearly: this evolution cannot be stopped at this stage,
    no special universal solution is possible, and thinking about monogamous networking
    is a kind of dreamland. This paper is an analysis of the state of the art in the
    matter of heterogeneous networking in industry. It deeply investigates both wired
    and wireless technologies from the point of view of technological aspects and
    relevant key performance indicators, such as those related to dependability, and
    it contains a prospective estimation of future trends.'
