Intelligent Systems and Sensors for Fault Tolerant Control and Fault Detection

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasingly sophisticated engineering background, more and more attention is focused on safety property and operational reliability. Thus, fault-tolerant control and fault detection are challenging problems that need to be handled urgently, in particular in safety-conscious engineering, for instance, aerospace systems, nuclear power networks, and vehicle systems. In fact, a fault-tolerant scheme in intelligent systems plays a key role, which allows the vehicle to be operated in a safe and stable mode when actuator or sensor failures occur during the steering process; for instance, the fault-tolerant controller is designed to prevent possible minor failures from developing into fatal accidents. In general, with the ever-increasing requirements around product quality, low maintenance cost, and safety performance in modern industries, the occurrence of faults greatly challenges the security and reliability of the system.

We invite authors to contribute original research articles as well as review articles related to all aspects of modeling, control methods, optimization theories, monitoring, signal processing, and fault detection for intelligent systems and sensors. All submissions are expected to include original ideas and new approaches. Of particular interest are papers devoted to the development of engineering applications. Papers presenting computational issues, search strategies, and modeling and solution techniques to practical problems are also welcome. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Robust control of intelligent systems;
• Fault-tolerant control scheme;
• Fault detection and diagnosis;
• Neural network modeling, control, and optimization;
• Fuzzy modeling, control, and optimization;
• Data-driven modeling, control, and optimization;
• Signal processing and optimization;
• Monitoring and fault tolerance.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
