文摘This paper addresses the problem of robust Fault-Tolerant (FT) design for large-scale systems. This particular class constitutes complex system which can be decomposed into N-interconnected subsystems.

An AFTCS is characterized by an online Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) process and a control reconfiguration mechanism.
