Introduction:

Observation, diagnosis, and control techniques play an important role in securing efficient and stable operations in cyber-physical systems. Although with the rapid development of data-driven modeling and big data analytics approaches, constructed observers, diagnostics, and controllers can achieve high classification or prediction accuracies, their interpretability analysis is usually forgotten. On the contrary, real-world systems have high requirements for model transparency. It is difficult to trust tools whose transparency is lacking or difficult to understand for human beings, as the slightest miscalculation may lead to unpredictable loss of life and property. Therefore, this special session calls for interpretable designs of system observation, diagnosis, and control models. Any interpretable enhancement technique for cyber-physical system modeling falls within this scope, including, but not limited to, model-based error/stability analysis, data-driven visualization, performance interpretability analysis, etc.
