1. A computer-implemented method for providing at least one service in a node or process of a cyberphysical system having at least two application modules, wherein communication takes place between the at least two application modules via respective application interfaces of the at least two application modules, wherein a respective one of the application interfaces constitutes communication access to the respective application module, wherein
at least the application interfaces of the at least two application modules are implemented by a coupling module that establishes the communication between the at least two application modules and that provides the at least one service in an activatable manner, wherein the coupling module extracts the application interfaces from the at least two application modules and combines the application interfaces in the coupling module such that the communication between the at least two application modules takes place via the coupling module, and the at least one service is dynamically controlled during a runtime of the cyberphysical system.
