“…To enable these self-abilities will inevitably introduce additional complexity, which sounds like using one complexity to deal with another complexity. For further understanding, we refer the reader to the surveys [17,46,48].…”

“…SOA based system [14][15][16][17] and multi-agent system (MAS) [18][19]82] are the two mainstreaming frameworks for self-adaptive systems. SOA framework is generally applied in centralized or hierarchical CPS.…”

“…Meanwhile MAS is popular for decentralized CPS, agents cooperate with each other and make decisions based on elections or voting, or some similar statistical information. Paulo L. et al analyzed the state of art agent technologies in industrial CPS, proposed the design principles and analyzed applicability of MAS across 11 emerging CPS aspects [17].…”

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.
