DESCRIPTION:Large-scale dynamical systems attract a significant and steadi
 ly growing interest in academia and industry. Examples of these systems in
 clude power and water distribution networks\, smart buildings\, complex in
 dustrial plants and transportation systems. They are characterized by a la
 rge number of states and inputs\, are generally spatially distributed\, an
 d are modeled as the interaction of many subsystems coupled through physic
 al or communication relationships. They can fail due to component faults\,
  human errors\, natural disasters or intentional malicious attacks. Reliab
 ility is a key requirement in systems design and the development of distri
 buted methods for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control is an emergen
 t important topic. Furthermore\, Large-Scale Systems can often have a dyna
 mic structure that changes over time: the topology of the network of inter
 connected systems may evolve\, or the revamping of some subsystems may cha
 nge the relationships with the rest of the network\, or the occurrence of 
 a fault may cause the disconnection of a subsystem in order to preserve sa
 fety and reliability of the rest of the system. In this talk\, I will pres
 ent a distributed model-based fault detection and isolation approach and I
  will explain how to use it in a scalable fault-tolerant control scheme as
  a decision support tool for the reconfiguration of the control.\n
