An overview of Platform-Based Design Methodologies for Cyber-Physical Systems in the Industrial Metaverse.

Abstract
As the industrial metaverse (IM) emerges at the intersection of iimmersive technologies and engineering systems, platform-based design (PBD) offers a promising pathway to unify its fragmented development landscape. This paper presents a structured, theme-driven scoping review that quantitatively maps how key PBD principles, such as modularity, scalability, reusability, and simulation, are applied across seven domains, including software, manufacturing, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and IM. By visualising theme–domain relationships through matrix analysis and alluvial diagrams, we reveal critical divergences in design priorities: while traditional domains prioritise efficiency and modular reuse, the IM emphasises immersive experience and user interaction. Notably, core engineering principles remain underrepresented in IMs, pointing to a need for more integrative, human-centred platforms that balance user experience with long-term industrial feasibility and system robustness. The findings offer a novel, comparative view on PBD evolution and lay the groundwork for developing standardised, scalable frameworks for future IM applications.
