| description | To cope with the complexity, the digital transformation of cyber-physical and socio-technology systems demands the utilization of heterogeneous tailorable development environments with dynamic configuring ability and transparent integration of independently developed dedicated frameworks. The essential design principles and component-based architecting of the initial prototype of the digital transformation hyper-framework represent this research target. These principles are derived from the broad scope analysis of digital transformation projects, methods, and tools and are glued to the proposed virtual twin hyper-document. The critical analysis of the digital transformation domain influenced the formulation of five research hypotheses that frame digital transformation of digital transformation, as the second goal of this research article. Armed with a meta-modeling layer, the incremental development of hybrid architecture instances focuses on meta-models and their transformations into functional, interpretable environments. The applicability aspects of the formulated hypothesis are verified throughout the architecture, meta-configuration, and handling of information resources as the essential segments of the initial version of the proposed evolution prototype. The detailed illustration of the horizontal and vertical interoperability of the proposed framework is illustrated by the Life Cycle Modeling component framework that creatively integrates the System, Software, and Operation Engineering aspects of the proposed hyper-framework. The proposed prototype capabilities are discussed in the context of the contemporary digital transformation ecosystem. Specification and development of the additional component frameworks, in compliance with specified generative mechanisms, directing further refinements of the proposed hyper-framework. |
