In recent decades, fault diagnostics and failure prognostics have demonstrated their great potential for health monitoring and risk management of complex engineering systems, including smart factories, power plants, space systems, and heavy equipment. The credibility and applicability of fault diagnostics and failure prognostics, however, are significantly affected by various uncertainties, such as model uncertainty, data uncertainty, process uncertainty, environmental uncertainty, and the inherent uncertainty of engineered systems. Therefore, accurately quantifying the effects of these uncertainties is essential and one of the most widely-held concerns to ensure trustworthy decision-making based on diagnostic and prognostic results. The purpose of this special issue is to present the latest advancements in the field of uncertainty-aware diagnostics and prognostics for the health management of engineered systems.
