Probabilistic planning integrated in a multi-level dependability concept for mechatronic systems

Self-optimizing mechatronic systems are a new class of technical systems. On the one hand, new challenges regarding dependability arise from their additional complexity and adaptivity. On the other hand, their abilities enable new concepts and methods to improve the dependability of mechatronic systems. This paper introduces a multi-level dependability concept for self-optimizing mechatronic systems and shows how planning can be used to improve the availability and reliability of systems in the operating stages.
