TC 6.4. Fault Detection,Supervision&Safety of Techn.Processes-SAFEPROCESS
Welcome Message from the Chair
The IFAC Technical Committee (TC) on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety of Technical Processes (SAFEPROCESS) was set up at the end of the 1980’s by Professor Rolf Isermann in response to a rising need for a forum on issues of control system safety: fault diagnosis, reliability analysis, fault tolerant control, predictive maintenance, … Such issues are still of uppermost importance as new challenges arise, such as the design of fault tolerant control systems over networks with a guaranteed degree of reliability. To achieve this goal, computer scientists, communication, control and reliability engineers (among others) must work together. By organizing the triennial SAFEPROCESS Symposia, as well as a series of invited and contributed sessions for the IFAC World Congresses, the SAFEPROCESS TC provides regular opportunities for meetings and exchanges of ideas between these different communities.
Please, take a look at the SAFEPROCESS home page for more information.
