However, their application in SA\&nbsp;solutions for the protection of large control distributions against unforeseen faults may be insufficient. Dynamic protection measures have to be provided not only to locally detect unplanned deviations but also to prevent, respond, and restore from these deviations. The provision of these services as an integral part of the SA\&nbsp;brings about a new research field known as wide-area situational awareness (WASA), highly dependent on CPSs\&nbsp;for control from anywhere across multiple interconnections, and at any time. Thus, we review the state-of-the art of this new paradigm, exploring the different preventive and corrective measures considering the heterogeneity of CPSs, resulting in a guideline for the construction of automated WASA\&nbsp;systems.</p>

	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">Automatic restoration of control wireless networks based on dynamic\&nbsp;cyber-physical systems has become a hot topic in recent years, since most of their\&nbsp;elements tend to have serious vulnerabilities that may be exploited by attackers.\&nbsp;In fact, any exploitation may rapidly extend to the entire control network due to\&nbsp;its problem of non-locality, where control properties of a system and its structural\&nbsp;controllability can disintegrate over time. Unfortunately, automated self-healing\&nbsp;processes may become costly procedures in which the reliability of the strategies\&nbsp;and the time-critical of any recovery of the control can become key factors to\&nbsp;re-establish the control properties in due time. This operational need is precisely\&nbsp;the aim of this paper, in which four reachability-based recovery strategies from\&nbsp;a thereotical point of view are proposed so as to find the best option/s in terms\&nbsp;of optimization, robustness and complexity. To do this, new definitions related to\&nbsp;structural controllability in relation to the type of distribution of the network and\&nbsp;its control load capacity are given in this paper, resulting in an interesting practical\&nbsp;study.</p>
