Autonomous Fault Detection and Identification Methods (FDI 2015)

Aim

Fault Detection and Identification (FDI) has gained considerable attention in the last 40 years.  While control tasks are majorly performed autonomously, FDI is still largely performed manually.  Recent statistic studies show that more than 70% of the accidents in industries are caused by human errors.  Early detection of a potential/occurring fault may prevent/reduce accidents, production and financial losses.  The aim of this special session is to bring researchers in the field of Fault Detection and Identification from all over the world together, to exchange their ideas and approaches, to discuss and to present latest results on this field.  Many different approaches to FDI have been proposed in the last few years and very often can be classified in model ‐ or process history ‐ based techniques, or even a combination of both.  The first group covers all approaches that are either dependent on the mathematical or on the physical/behavioral model of the plant, which, either way, requires previous (quantitative or qualitative) knowledge about the process.  The last group covers all approaches that are data-­driven and based only on the data acquired from the process.  Original research on Fault Detection, Isolation, Diagnosis, and Fault–Tolerant Schemes, as well successful applications are welcome.
