As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity and persistence, resilience has become a critical requirement for cyber–physical systems (CPSs). Resilience quantitative assessment is essential for supporting secure system design and ensuring reliable operation. Although various methods have been proposed for evaluating CPS resilience, major challenges remain in accurately modeling the interaction between cyber and physical domains and in providing structured guidance for resilience-oriented design. This study proposes an integrated CPS resilience assessment framework that combines cyber-layer anomaly modeling based on Markov chains with mathematical modeling of performance degradation and recovery in the physical domain. The framework establishes a structured evaluation process through parameter normalization and cyber–physical coupling, enabling the generation of resilience curves that clearly represent system performance changes under adverse conditions. A case study involving an industrial controller equipped with a diversity-redundancy architecture is conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. Modeling and simulation results indicate that the framework effectively reveals key resilience characteristics and supports performance-informed design optimization.

Cloud–edge collaboration industrial control systems (ICSs) face critical security and privacy challenges that existing dynamic heterogeneous redundancy (DHR) architectures inadequately address due to two fundamental limitations: event-triggered scheduling approaches that amplify common-mode escape impacts in resource-constrained environments, and insufficient privacy-preserving arbitration mechanisms for sensitive industrial data processing. In contrast to existing work that treats scheduling and privacy as separate concerns, this paper proposes a unified polymorphic heterogeneous security architecture that integrates hybrid event–time triggered scheduling with adaptive privacy-preserving arbitration, specifically designed to address the unique challenges of cloud–edge collaboration ICSs where both security resilience and privacy preservation are paramount requirements. The architecture introduces three key innovations: (1) a hybrid event–time triggered scheduling algorithm with credibility assessment and heterogeneity metrics to mitigate common-mode escape scenarios, (2) an adaptive privacy budget allocation mechanism that balances privacy protection effectiveness with system availability based on attack activity levels, and (3) a unified framework that organically integrates privacy-preserving arbitration with heterogeneous redundancy management. Comprehensive evaluations using natural gas pipeline pressure control and smart grid voltage control systems demonstrate superior performance: the proposed method achieves 100% system availability compared to 62.57% for static redundancy and 86.53% for moving target defense, maintains 99.98% availability even under common-mode attacks (10−2 probability), and consistently outperforms moving target defense methods integrated with state-of-the-art detection mechanisms (99.7790% and 99.6735% average availability when false data deviations from true values are 5% and 3%, respectively) across different attack detection scenarios, validating its effectiveness in defending against availability attacks and privacy leakage threats in cloud–edge collaboration environments.

High-resolution remote sensing imagery offers detailed spatial and semantic insights into the Earth’s surface, yet its classification remains hindered by the limited availability of labeled data, primarily due to the substantial expense and time required for manual annotation. To overcome this challenge, we propose a hybrid semi-supervised tri-training framework that integrates traditional classification methods with a lightweight convolutional neural network. By combining heterogeneous learners with complementary strengths, the framework iteratively assigns pseudo-labels to unlabeled samples and collaboratively refines model performance in a co-training manner. Additionally, a landscape-metric-guided relearning module is introduced to incorporate spatial configuration and land cover composition, further enhancing the framework’s representational capacity and classification robustness. Experiments were conducted on four high-resolution multispectral datasets (QuickBird (QB), WorldView-2 (WV-2), GeoEye-1 (GE-1), and ZY-3) covering diverse land-cover types and spatial resolutions. The results demonstrate that the proposed method surpasses state-of-the-art baselines by 1.5–10% while generating more spatially coherent classification maps.
