      Conditional densities for continuous-time nonlinear hybrid systems with applications to fault detection 

      Hibey, J. L.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (1999)
      Continuous-time nonlinear stochastic differential state and measurement equations, all of which have coefficients capable of abrupt changes at a random time, are considered; finite-state jump Markov chains are used to model ...

      Decentralized failure diagnosis in discrete event systems 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2006)
      In this paper, we develop and analyze decentralized failure diagnosis schemes for systems that can be modeled as finite state machines (FSMs). We consider a scenario where we are given multiple local diagnosers (with partial ...

      Distributed Fault Diagnosis in Discrete Event Systems via Set Intersection Refinements 

      Keroglou, C.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2018)
      We extend and verify diagnosability for a class of set intersection refinement strategies, which can be used for distributed state estimation and fault diagnosis in nondeterministic finite automata that are observed at ...

      Fault diagnosis in discrete event systems modeled by partially observed petri nets 

      Ru, Y.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2009)
      In this paper, we study fault diagnosis in discrete event systems modeled by partially observed Petri nets, i.e., Petri nets equipped with sensors that allow observation of the number of tokens in some of the places and/or ...

      Fault-tolerant dynamic systems 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Verghese, G. C. (2000)
      We use unreliable system replicas and unreliable voters to construct redundant dynamic systems that tolerate transient failures in their state transition and error correcting mechanisms. Using low density parity check ...

      Graphical inference methods for fault diagnosis based on information from unreliable sensors 

      Le, T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2006)
      In this paper, we study the application of decoding algorithms to the multiple fault diagnosis (MFD) problem. Prompted by the resemblance between graphical representations for MFD problems and parity check codes, we develop ...

      Max-product algorithms for the generalized multiple-fault diagnosis problem 

      Le, T.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2007)
      In this paper, we study the application of the max-product algorithm (MPA) to the generalized multiple-fault diagnosis (GMFD) problem, which consists of components (to be diagnosed) and alarms/connections that can be ...

      Maximum likelihood failure diagnosis in finite state machines under unreliable observations 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Li, L.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2010)
      In this paper, we develop a probabilistic methodology for failure diagnosis in finite state machines based on a sequence of unreliable observations. Given prior knowledge of the input probability distribution but without ...

      On the history of diagnosability and opacity in discrete event systems 

      Lafortune, S.; Lin, F.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2018)
      This paper presents historical remarks on key projects and papers that led to the development of a theory of event diagnosis for discrete event systems modeled by finite-state automata or Petri nets in the 1990s. The goal ...

      Power system monitoring based on relay and circuit breaker information 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Verghese, G. C. (2001)
      In this paper we develop monitoring schemes that are able to detect and identify failures in power transmission lines by analyzing binary status information from relays and circuit breakers. The approach, which is based ...

      Power system monitoring using Petri net embeddings 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N.; Verghese, G. C. (2000)
      A failure in a power transmission line causes a number of circuit breakers to activate in an effort to isolate the failure and prevent it from corrupting the rest of the power system. Based on information from these ...

      Probabilistic failure diagnosis in finite state machines under unreliable observations 

      Athanasopoulou, E.; Li, N.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2006)
      In this paper we develop a probabilistic methodology for calculating the likelihood that an observed, possibly corrupted event sequence was generated by two (or more) candidate finite state machines (FSMs) (one of which ...

      Probabilistic fault detection in finite-state machines based on state occupancy measurements 

      Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2002)
      This paper discusses a probabilistic methodology for detecting permanent or transient functional changes in the state-transition mechanism of a deterministic finite-state machine (FSM). The associated detector observes the ...

      Reachability analysis for a class of petri nets 

      Ru, Y.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2009)
      In this paper, we study the reachability problem for the class of (strictly) monotone Petri nets that we define based on algebraic conditions. More specifically, given a (strictly) monotone Petri net, an initial marking ...
