This book, published in two volumes, embodies the proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019) held in Bologna, Italy, in November 2019. It features contributed and invited papers from academics and professionals specializing in an important aspect of control and automation. The book discusses current theoretical research developments and open problems and illustrates practical applications and industrial priorities. With a focus on both theory and applications, it spans a wide variety of up-to-date topics in the field of systems and control, including robust control, adaptive control, fault-tolerant control, control reconfiguration, and model-based diagnosis of linear, nonlinear and hybrid systems. As the subject coverage has expanded to include cyber-physical production systems, industrial internet of things and sustainability issues, some contributions are of an interdisciplinary nature, involving ICT disciplines and environmentalsciences. 

This book is a valuable reference for both academics and professionals in the area of systems and control, with a focus on advanced control, automation, fault diagnosis and condition monitoring.

Elena Zattoni received the Laurea degree cum Laude in Electronics Engineering in 1995 and the Ph.D. in Systems Engineering in 1999 from the University of Bologna, Italy. She is Associate Professor in Automatic Control at the Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna. She has been a Visiting Professor at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Aalto University, University of Michigan, Institut de Recherche en Communications et Cybernétique de Nantes, and Brown University. Her research interests are focused on geometric and structural approaches to control systems, including hybrid systems and time-delay systems, with applications to the synthesis of enhanced-reliability control systems. She has authored more than one hundred and fifty papers in journals, conference proceedings and books. She has co-edited the book "Structural Methods in the Study of Complex Systems". She is the General Chair of the "1st IFAC Workshop on Control of Complex Systems (COSY 2022)" and she has been theGeneral Chair of the ‘‘15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019)’’. She is a member of the IFAC TC on Linear Control Systems. She is a Senior Member of IEEE and she has served on the Member Activity Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society.

Silvio Simani was born in Ferrara in 1971. He received his Laurea degree (cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the Department of Engineering at the University of Ferrara, Italy, in 1996, and was awarded the Ph.D. in Information Science (Automatic Control) at the Department of Engineering of the University of Ferrara and Modena, Italy, in 2000. Since February 2002 he was Assistant Professor at the Department of Engineering of the University of Ferrara, and since December 2018 he has been Professor of Automatic Control at the same Department. Since 1999 he is member of the IFAC Technical Committee 6.4 on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety for Technical Processes (SAFEPROCESS), and vice-chair of the same TC from 2018. Since 1998 he is member of the IEEE Society, and since 2016 he is Senior Member IEEE. Prof. Simani has published more than 260 refereed journal and conference papers, several book’s chapters, and four monographs. His research interests include fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control of linear and nonlinear dynamic processes, system modelling, identification and data analysis, linear and nonlinear filtering techniques, fuzzy logic and neural networks for modelling and control, as well as the interaction issues among identification, fault diagnosis, fault tolerant and sustainable control. These techniques have been applied to power plants, renewable energy conversion systems, aircraft and spacecraft processes.

Giuseppe Conte received the Laurea with Honors in Mathematics from the University of Genoa, Italy, in 1974. He is currently Professor of Automation at the Polytechnic University of Marche, Ancona, Italy. He has been Visiting Researcher/Professor at the Ohio State Univesity and the Ecole Centrale de Nantes. His research interests are in algebraic and geometric systems and control theory and in robotics. He has authored more than three hundred papers in journals, conference proceedings and books, he co-edited four books and he co-authored the research monograph Algebraic Methods for Nonlinear Control Systems. Theory and Applications (London, UK: Springer Verlag 2007). He served on the editorial boards of several journals, as Program Chair and General Chair of systems and control conferences and currently serves as Associate Editor of IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information. Prof. Conte was Chairman of the IFAC Technical Committee on Linear Control Systems and Chairman of the Italian Chapter of the IEEE Control Systems Society.
