Diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of critical infrastructures

In modern societies, the reliable and continuous operation of certain infrastructures plays a fundamental role in the quality of life, economic development and security of nations. This paper presents several approaches for diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of critical infrastructure systems (CIS) including: the analysis of these systems to understand the weaknesses and risks in case some fault occurs, fault diagnosis using analytical redundancy relation, fault tolerant control schemes and assessment of the fault tolerance and inclusion of health-aware mechanisms in the CIS control systems.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
