In this paper, a design methodology for building diagnosers for hybrid systems is proposed. The design methodology uses as a starting point a hybrid automaton model to represent the hybrid system behaviour by means of ...

This paper proposes a model based detection and localisation method to deal with abnormal quality levels based on the chlorine measurements and chlorine sensitivity analysis in a water distribution network. A fault isolation ...

The linear parameter varying (LPV) approach has proved to be suitable for controlling many non-linear systems. However, for those which are highly non-linear and complex, the number of scheduling variables increases rapidly. ...

This work presents an optimization strategy that maximizes the leak locatability performance of water distribution networks (WDN). The goal is to characterize and determine a sensor configuration that guarantees a ...

Critical infrastructure systems (CIS) are complex large-scale systems which in turn require highly sophisticated supervisory control systems to ensure that high performance can be achieved and maintained under adverse ...

This book presents a set of approaches for the real-time monitoring and control of drinking-water networks based on advanced information and communication technologies. It shows the reader how to achieve significant ...

A major goal in modern flight control systems is the need for improving reliability. This work presents a health-aware and fault-tolerant control approach for an octorotor UAV that allows distributing the control effort ...

This paper proposes a method to track the system mode and diagnose a hybrid system without building an entire diagnoser off-line. The method is supported by a hybrid automaton model that represents the hybrid system ...

The problem of optimal sensor placement for FDI consists in d etermining the set of sensors that minimizes a pre-defined cost function satisfying at the same time a pre-established set of FDI specifications ...
