Abstract
Current developments in information and communication technologies empower new opportunities and present new challenges in monitoring and control of cyber-physical systems. The proliferation of low-cost sensing generates large amounts of heterogeneous data that need to be processed and interpreted in real time. The ubiquitous availability of data communications opens up new prospects for large-scale distributed decision and control. However, in situations where some components behave abnormally or become faulty, this may lead to serious degradation in performance or even to catastrophic system failures, especially due to cascaded effects of the interconnected subsystems. The goal of this presentation is to provide insight into various aspects of the design and analysis of fault tolerant control, to discuss a novel approach based on lifelong cooperative learning and to discuss directions for future research.
