Abstract :
A real demand now exists for fault-tolerant control systems.
This talk gives some examples in which this arises, drawn from process
control, automotive and aerospace applications. But fault-tolerance is a
very ambitious objective; the paper examines critically what has been
achieved so far, and what it might be possible to achieve. It also
criticises current academic work on fault-tolerant control, and speculates
a little on how progress might be achieved. The paper is illustrated by
examples from real applications, particularly from the aerospace sector.
