Recent advances in information and communication technologies, embedded systems and sensor networks have generated significant research activity in the development of so-called cyber-physical systems. An example of a large network of cyber-physical systems is a smart city with intelligent infrastructures for supporting the environment, energy and water distribution, transportation, telecommunication, health care, home automation, and so on. From a systems point of view, safety, reliability and fault tolerance become key challenges in designing cyber-physical systems. One of the major issues is detecting and correcting faults in the sensors that form a critical part of these networks and systems. For example, if two sensors should provide similar information, how do you know which one is at fault should their readings suddenly greatly differ? Sensor Fault Diagnosis addresses all the issues in sensor fault detection and isolation. It provides a clear tutorial on the challenges and models that can be used to address them. It describes, in detail, the requirements for modeling the systems, designing the architecture, detecting faults, isolating those faults, and presents learning techniques for enhancing performance. This monograph will appeal to all researchers and students working on large sensor networks and systems.

This volume is part of the two-volume proceedings of the 19th International Conf- ence on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN 2009), which was held in Cyprus during September 14–17, 2009. The ICANN conference is an annual meeting sp- sored by the European Neural Network Society (ENNS), in cooperation with the - ternational Neural Network Society (INNS) and the Japanese Neural Network Society (JNNS). ICANN 2009 was technically sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intel- gence Society. This series of conferences has been held annually since 1991 in various European countries and covers the field of neurocomputing, learning systems and related areas. Artificial neural networks provide an information-processing structure inspired by biological nervous systems. They consist of a large number of highly interconnected processing elements, with the capability of learning by example. The field of artificial neural networks has evolved significantly in the last two decades, with active partici- tion from diverse fields, such as engineering, computer science, mathematics, artificial intelligence, system theory, biology, operations research, and neuroscience. Artificial neural networks have been widely applied for pattern recognition, control, optimization, image processing, classification, signal processing, etc.

A highly accessible and unified approach to the design and analysisof intelligent control systems Adaptive Approximation Based Control is a tool every controldesigner should have in his or her control toolbox. Mixing approximation theory, parameter estimation, and feedbackcontrol, this book presents a unified approach designed to enablereaders to apply adaptive approximation based control to existingsystems, and, more importantly, to gain enough intuition andunderstanding to manipulate and combine it with other control toolsfor applications that have not been encountered before. The authors provide readers with a thought-provoking framework forrigorously considering such questions as: * What properties should the function approximator have? * Are certain families of approximators superior to others? * Can the stability and the convergence of the approximatorparameters be guaranteed? * Can control systems be designed to be robust in the face ofnoise, disturbances, and unmodeled effects? * Can this approach handle significant changes in the dynamics dueto such disruptions as system failure? * What types of nonlinear dynamic systems are amenable to thisapproach? * What are the limitations of adaptive approximation basedcontrol? Combining theoretical formulation and design techniques withextensive use of simulation examples, this book is a stimulatingtext for researchers and graduate students and a valuable resourcefor practicing engineers.
