The continuous increase
in the complexity of modern
industrial systems and
objects as well as growing
reliability demands regarding
their operation and control
quality are serious
challenges for further
development of the theory
and practice of control and
technical diagnostics. Early
detection of faults is critical
in avoiding performance
degradation and damage to
machinery or human life.
The SAFEPROCESS
symposium is a triennial
meeting of IFAC and a major
international gathering of
leading experts in the
academia and industry from
all over the world. It aims at
strengthening the contact
between the academia and
industry to build up new
networks and cultivate
existing relations. High-level
speakers have gave talks on
a wide spectrum of topics
related to fault diagnosis,
process supervision, safety
monitoring and fault-tolerant
control, as well as state-ofthe-
art applications and
emerging research
directions. The symposium
has been also a forum for
young researchers, with the
opportunity to present their
scientific ambitions and work
to an audience of
international communities of
technical diagnostics and
control.
Fault diagnosis and
fault-tolerant control have
developed into a major
research area at the
intersection of system and
control engineering, applied
mathematics and statistics or
soft computing, as well
as application fields such
as mechanical, electrical,
chemical and aerospace
engineering. IFAC is
recognized as playing a
crucial role in this aspect
by launching a triennial
symposium dedicated to
this subject.
The program of
SAFEPROCESS 2018
included 25 regular and
13 invited sessions in 5
parallel tracks. It also
contained 3 plenary and
6 semi-plenary talks
prepared by outstanding
academic and industrial
experts. We hope that
those presentations gave
the participants the
opportunity to share in
the knowledge and
experience of worldrenowned
scientists and
experts in many exciting
topics such as distributed
fault diagnosis,
integration of diagnosis
and fault tolerant control,
model-based fault
diagnosis of wind
turbines, model-free
approaches to faulttolerant
control, robust
fault detection using setmembership
approaches,
as well as fault diagnosis
needs and challenges in
civil aircrafts

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
