Abstract: Underlying the Fourth Industrial Revolution (or Industry 4.0), industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is revolutionizing the process industries and promises one of the largest potential economic effects of CPS. Although industrial CPS works satisfactorily most of the time thanks to years of research, it suffers significant limitations, such as error-prone configuration, poor scalability, and security vulnerabilities. This talk will discuss those limitations and introduce my research on creating dependable industrial CPS.
