Welcome to SysTol'13
On behalf of the International Program Committee and the Organizing Committee of the 2nd International Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems, SysTol’13, we welcome the participants of the conference to be held in Nice on October 9-11, 2013. The conference is sponsored by the Research Center for Automatic Control of Nancy and Université de Lorraine. It is technically cosponsored by IEEE Control System Society and IEEE Reliability Society and supported by the french research group GDR MACS.
Following the great success of and acceptance by the international community of control and technical diagnostics of the first International Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems in 2010, SysTol Conferences are organized every three years between IFAC Symposia on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes, SAFEPROCESS. SysTol’10 demonstrated the demand for establishing a continuous scientific forum in the general field of system monitoring, fault detection and diagnosis as well as fault-tolerant control.
The safe and reliable operation of technical systems is of great significance for the protection of human life and health as well as the environment, and of a vested economic value for supporting decision making or emergency actions and repairs. Moreover, in highly automated industrial systems where maintenance or repair cannot be carried out immediately, it is crucial to employ fault-tolerant control systems capable of ensuring acceptable performance even in the presence of faults.
The program of SysTol’13 includes 19 regular and 5 invited sessions in 3 parallel tracks, covering the following subjects:
- Fault detection and diagnosis in linear and non-linear systems
- Data-driven, statistical and signal processing methods
- Fault diagnosis for aircraft and spacecraft systems, autonomous vehicles and automotive systems
- Design for reliability and safety, health monitoring, maintenance policies and decision making
- Fault tolerant control, sustainable control of offshore wind turbines as well as monitoring, diagnosis and fault-tolerant control for wind energy conversion systems.
Moreover, the program contains 2 plenary and 4 semi-plenary talks prepared by outstanding academic and industrial experts. We hope that those talks will give the participants the opportunity to share in the knowledge and experience of world-renowned scientists and experts in many exciting topics such as fault-tolerant and vehicle dynamic control, LPV methods for fault-tolerant vehicle dynamic control, fault-tolerant control with applications to autonomous unmanned systems, dynamic reliability from probabilistic safety analysis to fault-tolerant control, robust control systems for modern power electronics as well as fault detection and mitigation in the process industry.
We hope that you will find your participation in SysTol’13 very stimulating and rewarding. Moreover, we believe that a few days’ stay in Nice and other parts of the wonderful French Riviera will give you an opportunity to relax and learn more about the city and the region.
We would like to thank all members of the International Program Committee for their excellent work in ensuring a high quality of the conference program. Special thanks go to members of the Organizing Committee for their hard work that made it possible to organize this international scientific event.
We wish all participants to enjoy the 2nd International Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems, SysTol’13 and a pleasant stay in Nice.
