Though Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) become very popular in last the decade, dependability of CPS is still a critical issue and related survey is rare. We try to spell out the jigsaw of technologies and figure out the technical trends of dependable self-managing CPS. This survey first recalls the motivation and the similar concepts. By analyzing four generic architectures, we summarize the common characteristics and related assurance technologies, and propose a more generic environment-in-loop processing flow of CPS and a formal interaction flow between physical space and cyber space. Further, the similarity between correctness and dependability is formally analyzed and the new five research questions of dependable self-managing CPS are presented. Then we review the critical technologies and related correctness verification & validation (V&V) methods, the architectures for dependable self-managing CPS. Further, the detail dependability management and V&V technologies are surveyed, which covers the areas of running-time fault management methods and whole life cycle V&V technologies, maintenance and available tool sets. For holistic CPS development, Modeling techniques and MDE (model driven engineering) based V&V methods are analyzed in detail. Then we complete the jigsaw of technologies and figure out the missing part. Further, we propose the technical challenges and the further direction. To our best knowledge, this is the first comprehensive survey on dependable self-managing CPS development and evaluation.

“…Also, system requirements could evolve at runtime, implying the addition of a new device by instance to be able to monitor a temporal disease. So, in our opinion, AAL systems should be self-adaptive [11], which implies to be able to adapt themselves autonomously to context changes resulting from device failure and the addition or loss of devices and services. In order to be self-adaptive, AAL systems should be endowed with self-adaptation capacities, which will be transparent to the final user.…”

Abstract. One of the most important challenges of this decade is the Internet of Things (IoT) that pursues the integration of real-world objects in Internet. One of the key areas of the IoT is the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems, which should be able to react to variable and continuous changes while ensuring their acceptance and adoption by users. This means that AAL systems need to work as self-adaptive systems. The autonomy property inherent to software agents, makes them a suitable choice for developing self-adaptive systems. However, agents lack the mechanisms to deal with the variability present in the IoT domain with regard to devices and network technologies. To overcome this limitation we have already proposed a Software Product Line (SPL) process for the development of self-adaptive agents in the IoT. Here we analyze the challenges that poses the development of self-adaptive AAL systems based on agents. To do so, we focus on the domain and application engineering of the self-adaptation concern of our SPL process. In addition, we provide a validation of our development process for AAL systems.

Self‐adaptation on parallel stream processing: A systematic review

A recurrent challenge in real-world applications is autonomous management of the executions at run-time. In this vein, stream processing is a class of applications that compute data flowing in the form of streams (e.g., video feeds, images, and data analytics), where parallel computing can help accelerate the executions. On the one hand, stream processing applications are becoming more complex, dynamic, and long-running. On the other hand, it is unfeasible for humans to monitor and manually change the executions continuously. Hence, self-adaptation can reduce costs and human efforts by providing a higher-level abstraction with an autonomic/seamless management of executions. In this work, we aim at providing a literature review regarding self-adaptation applied to the parallel stream processing domain. We present a comprehensive revision using a systematic literature review method. Moreover, we propose a taxonomy to categorize and classify the existing self-adaptive approaches.Finally, applying the taxonomy made it possible to characterize the state-of-the-art, identify trends, and discuss open research challenges and future opportunities.
