Recently, vast investments have been made worldwide in developing Cyber-Physical
Systems (CPS) as solutions to key socio-economic challenges. The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has also
enjoyed widespread adoption, mostly for its ability to add “sensing” and “actuation” capabilities to
existing CPS infrastructures. However, attention must be paid to the impact of IoT protocols on the dependability of CPS infrastructures. We address the issues of CPS dependability by using an epidemic
model of the underlying dynamics within the CPS’ IoT subsystem (CPS-IoT) and an interferenceaware routing reconfiguration. These help to efficiently monitor CPS infrastructure—avoiding
routing oscillation, while improving its safety. The contributions of this paper are threefold. Firstly,
a CPS orchestration model is proposed that relies upon: (i) Inbound surveillance and outbound
actuation to improve dependability and (ii) a novel information diffusion model that uses epidemic
states and diffusion sets to produce diffusion patterns across the CPS-IoT.
