This paper is devoted to the design and performance analysis of an autonomous decentralized monitoring system that degrades gracefully under natural or malicious sensor malfunctioning. In the scenario considered, the sensors are characterized by a quantity referred to as data quality, and a method for estimating process variables, based on sensor measurements and data quality, is developed. Using these estimates, the plant status assessment is carried out, and the entropy of the resulting probability mass function, augmented by symmetrized relative entropy of sensor measurements, is used to drive the socalled rational controllers, which force the monitoring system to operate in the optimal state. Along with analytical results, the paper presents numerical examples, which illustrate the efficacy of the resulting resilient monitoring system, using a metric based on the Kullbeck-Liebler divergence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
