Adaptability 1The CPPS shall adapt its behavior and structure to changing conditions.[24ā€“33]
Adaptability 1.1The CPPS shall have the perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variables have changed, such as time, or some other variables, such as a predetermined event [34].[24, 34]
Adaptability 1.2The CPPS should learn its future behavior from past experiences.[24]
Adaptability 1.3The CPPS shall adapt in the most optimal way possible.[35]
Adaptability 1.4The CPPMs and subsystems should collaborate with other CPPMs, subsystems, and human resources in the same system during operation.[24, 36, 37]
Adaptability 1.5The CPPS shall autonomously attempt to overcome faults or otherwise support users in this process.[26, 29, 38]
