Resumo:Empowering distributed entities with decisional and adaptation capabilities is the current trend in control systems operating in highly changing environments. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is a paradigm addressing this challenge as it allows the integration of both physical and decisional parts. By acting in highly changing environments, these complex control systems must be resilient. This paper proposes a trust and risk management mechanism to be deployed in CPS for resilience improvement. This mechanism, inspired by social and biological behaviour, is deployed in a smart-grid demonstrator. The preliminary results show that embedding this mechanism into distributed entities can lead to an increase of the system stability and efficiency dealing with system uncertainty and perturbations, and consequently improving the system resilience.
