Distributed Fault Estimation and Fault-Tolerant Control of Interconnected Systems

Design of Distributed Fault Tolerant Control Systems

When dealing with large-scale complex networked control systems, designing FDI/FTC systems is a very difficult task due to the large number of sensors and actuators spatially distributed and networked connected. Despite the research effort on developing FTC systems for NCS most of these developments still being designed globally leading to centralized FTC solutions inadequate to NCS or, assume ...

Fault-tolerant Distributed Systems

Distributed systems have two key advantages: they increase the quality of our interaction with computers and the quantity of resources available to us. The quality increases as components of a distributed system hide failures from users and render a service more reliable (safer from loss) andmore available (less downtime). Increases in quantity, such as computational power and storage capacity,...

Fault Tolerant Distributed Information Systems

Critical infrastructures provide services upon which society depends heavily; these applications are themselves dependent on distributed information systems for all aspects of their operation and so survivability of the information systems is an important issue. Fault tolerance is a key mechanism by which survivability can be achieved in these information systems. We outline a specification-bas...

Fault-tolerant and Distributed Control in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems

Medical cyber-physical systems (MCPS) integrate a number of medical devices to prevent safety hazards as well as improve efficiency of clinical procedures. Most of existing approaches for MCPS control are either in centralized manner or assuming ideal network conditions (e.g., no message loss). However, the high dynamicity of clinical environment calls for distributed control, and also invalida...
