Lecture on Fault Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems

This informal lecture will introduce the participants to the problem of fault diagnosis for discrete event systems. The notion of diagnosability will be defined, and its verification discussed. Diagnoser automata will also be presented using simple examples. No prior knowledge of this problem will be assumed.

Stéphane Lafortune is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He obtained his degrees from Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal (B.Eng), McGill University (M.Eng), and the University of California at Berkeley (PhD), all in electrical engineering. Dr. Lafortune is a Fellow of the IEEE (1999). His research interests are in discrete event systems and include multiple problem domains: modeling, diagnosis, control, optimization, and applications to computer systems. He co-authored, with C. Cassandras, the textbook Introduction to Discrete Event Systems (2nd Edition, Springer, 2008). He is co-developer of the software packages DESUMA and UMDES.
