Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) transform traditional systems into a network of connected and heterogeneous systems, integrating computational and physical elements, that works as a complex system whose overall properties are greater than the sum of its parts. However, CPS is not free from faulty episodes and their consequences such as malfunctions, breakdowns, and service interruption. Traditional centralized models for fault-tolerance do not meet the complexity of the current industrial scenarios and particularly the industrial CPS requirements. Having this in mind, this work presents a holonic-based architecture to address the fault-tolerance in CPS by distributing the detection, diagnosis, and recovery in the local individual entities and also considers the emergent behaviour resulting from the collaboration of these entities. An experimental case study is used to illustrate the potential application of the fault-tolerant approach.
