Designing Goal Model for Autonomic Control Point of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)

Goal model provides essential knowledge determining autonomic control point and abstracting the complicated management problem. Most of the existing methods suffer from a common problem, in that the developers have to analyze the complex target CPS. Namely much time and effort is required to inspect the CPS. Thus, this article offers a method to build a goal model for the autonomic control of Cyber- Physical Systems. This approach attempts to define and apply the system knowledge required for the autonomic control from the goal model.
