2019年05月31日下午，塞浦路斯大学Mrios M. Polycarpou教授应邀在将军路校区自动化学院1号楼403会议室做题为“Smart Buildings: Monitoring, Control and Fault Tolerance”的学术报告。报告由南京航空航天大学副校长兼自动化学院院长姜斌教授主持，自动化学院部分师生参加了报告会。
Polycarpou教授此次报告的主要内容包括：智能建筑的主要构架和发展现状，智能建筑的供暖、通风和空调系统的监测、控制和容错，以及几种估计、学习和反馈算法的介绍。
Polycarpou教授指出，智能建筑可以视为一种信息物理系统，可以通过相应的控制以提高能源利用率，增强舒适性、生产力和安全性，提升系统鲁棒性和可靠性。
而后，Polycarpou教授讲解了智能建筑中的容错控制相关问题。在智能建筑系统中，可能发生的故障主要有：空气质量检测系统中的空气质量差、有毒气体泄漏，供暖、通风及空调系统中的执行器和传感器故障，以及供能系统中的执行器和传感器故障。智能建筑系统可以建模为多个非线性子系统相耦合的互联系统，系统中的故障可以通过分布式故障诊断与隔离策略来处理。
最后，Polycarpou教授与到场的师生进行了交流互动，耐心解答了师生们所提出的学术问题并与到会师生代表合影。
