      Bounds on FSM switching activity 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2008)
      This paper obtains lower and upper bounds for the switching activity on the state lines of a finite state machine (FSM) that is driven by typical input sequences. More specifically, the paper provides bounds on the average ...

      Maximum likelihood diagnosis in partially observable finite state machines 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2005)
      In this paper we develop a probabilistic approach for fault diagnosis in deterministic finite state machines (FSMs). The proposed approach determines whether the FSM under consideration is faulty or not by observing (part ...

      Probabilistic approaches to fault detection in networked discrete event systems 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2005)
      In this paper, we consider distributed systems that can be modeled as finite state machines with known behavior under fault-free conditions, and we study the detection of a general class of faults that manifest themselves ...

      Probabilistic detection of FSM single state-transition faults based on state occupancy measurements 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2005)
      This note discusses a probabilistic methodology for detecting single permanent or transient functional changes in the state-transition mechanism of a deterministic finite-state machine (FSM). The associated probabilistic ...

      Synchronization-based fault detection in discrete event systems 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2004)
      In this paper we study fault detection in systems that can be modeled as finite state machines (FSMs). We aim at detecting faults that manifest themselves as permanent changes in the next-state transition functionality of ...

      Verification of detectability in Probabilistic Finite Automata 

      Keroglou, C.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2017)
      In this paper we analyze state estimation in stochastic discrete event systems (SDES) that can be modeled as probabilistic finite automata (PFAs). For a given PFA, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions that ...
