TLDR
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed in this paper, where tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed, ranging from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, and the development of jump process formulations.
Abstract
A number of methods for detecting abrupt changes (such as failures) in stochastic dynamical systems are surveyed. The class of linear systems is concentrated on but the basic concepts, if not the detailed analyses, carry over to other classes of systems. The methods surveyed range from the design of specific failure-sensitive filters, to the use of statistical tests on filter innovations, to the development of jump process formulations. Tradeoffs in complexity versus performance are discussed.

Systemic risks management in complex process plants: Challenges, opportunities, and emerging trends

TL;DR: The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster has reminded us, once again, of the potential for systemic failures in complex engineered systems as mentioned in this paper. But such systemic failures are not limited to the chemical and petrochemical industries alone.

Adaptive Identification for Abruptly Changing Systems

TL;DR: Numerical examples illustrate that the proposed adaptive identification method works well not only for the systems changing abruptly according to semi-Markov chain but also for systems with slowly changing parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the applicability of reconfigurable control techniques to an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) and compared the efficiency of a number of control strategies with respect to the level of system performance degradation.

Application of Dynamic Safety Margin in robust fault detection and fault tolerant control

TL;DR: In this article, a robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) system based on Dynamic Safety Margin (DSM) is proposed and the fault is detected based on the analysis of DSM and isolated using a multi-model approach, which is useful to maintain a predefined margin of safety during the transient phase of the system or when disturbances are present.

Non-switching control strategies for continuous-time jump linear quadratic systems

TL;DR: In this paper, non-switching control strategies are considered for continuous-time linear systems with random jumps in parameter values, and an optimal control problem is formulated in terms of a quadratic cost function.
