This book is devoted to the demands of research and industrial centers for diagnostics
monitoring and decision making systems that result from the increasing complexity of automation
and systems the need to ensure the highest level of reliability and safety and continuing
research and the development of innovative approaches to fault diagnosis. The contributions
combine domains of engineering knowledge for diagnosis including detection isolation
localization identification reconfiguration and fault-tolerant control. The book is divided
into six parts: (I) Fault Detection and Isolation (II) Estimation and Identification (III)
Robust and Fault Tolerant Control (IV) Industrial and Medical Diagnostics (V) Artificial
Intelligence (VI) Expert and Computer Systems.
