All from One, One for All, Failure Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems using Representatives

Abstract

Failure diagnosis in large and complex systems is a critical and challenging task. In the realm of model based diagnosis on discrete event systems, computing a failure diagnosis means computing the set of system behaviours that could explain observations. Depending on the diagnosed system, such behaviours can be numerous, so that a problem of representing them is induced. The paper discusses about this problem and presents a way of representing a diagnosis by the use of a partial order reduction technique. Show more
