KEYWORDS:
FAULT DIAGNOSIS AND FAULT-TOLERANT CONTROL. FAULT-TOLERANT CONTROL SYSTEMS. ESTIMATION AND IDENTIFICATION METHODS. OPTIMAL AND ACTIVE SENSOR DESIGNS. FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES. SOFT COMPUTING APPROACHES.

This book offers the present-day state-of-the-art and indicates most of the active research topics, as well as certain new developments in fault detection methodologies and diagnosis systems, including fault-tolerant approaches, in which the concepts of modeling, identification, estimation and control are of fundamental meaning. It appears that this book is a right response to current expectations and demands of consumer and industrial centers for safe modern diagnostics systems, process monitoring systems and expert systems.
It is a multi-author book featuring a collection of selected papers. In particular, six international experts: Michele Basseville (IRISA/CNRS, Rennes), Eduardo F. Camacho et al. (Universidad de Sevilla), Steven X. Ding (University of Duisburg-Essen), Jan Maciejowski (Cambridge University), Antoni Nowakowski and co-workers (Gdansk University of Technology), and Jakob Stoustrup (Aalborg University), contributed their chapters surveying current research findings and state-of-the-art developments to the first part of the book entitled Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Control. The remaining part of the book has been divided into five sections: Fault-Tolerant Control Systems, Estimation and Identification Methods, Optimal and Active Sensor Designs, Fault Diagnosis of Industrial Processes, and Soft Computing Approaches.
The book can be of interest to industrial engineers as well as to scientists and academicians who wish to pursue the reliability and fault detection issues of safety-critical industrial processes or systems. To some extend, it can be also recommended to postgraduate students of control, electronics, electrical, mechanical engineering and system sciences, although, in general, the book does not feature the textbook level necessary for introducing them to the methods of diagnostics under discussion. Though it can certainly be treated as an up-to-date source of bibliographical information.
