Modern industrial systems require frequent updates to their cyber and physical infrastructures, often demanding considerable reconfiguration effort. This paper introduces the industrial Cyber-Physical Systems Description Language, iCPS-DL, which enables autonomic reconfigurations for industrial Cyber-Physical Systems. The iCPS-DL maps an industrial process using semantics for physical and cyber-physical components, a state estimation model, and agent interactions. A novel aspect is using communication semantics to ensure live interaction among distributed agents. Reasoning on the semantic description facilitates the configuration of the industrial process control loop. A Water Distribution Networks domain case study demonstrates iCPS-DL's application.
