Despite all its potentials, new industrial revolution enabledby cyber-physical systems (CPS), on its way to be fullyappreciated still has major concerns and obstacles withregards to dependability and security. This study targetsthese concerns by proposing a generic model for intelligentdistributed dependability and security supervision andcontrol mechanism, that enables components toautonomously meet their own security and dependabilityobjectives, through real-time distributed supervision andcontrol. In addition, a multi-agent system (MAS) basedimplementation approach is proposed to enable fullexploitation of the model’s capabilities.
