However, these systems become more and more complex. Actually, this induces that standard alarm processors do not manage efficiently all the alarms that occur. This paper deals with intelligent alarm processing system (IAPS). The goal of this type of system is to reduce the number of alarms that are presented to the operators and to assist them to select corrective actions in case of fault occurrence. In this paper, we propose a prototype developed under PROLOG. Different concepts such as validation, causal inhibition or synthesis alarms characterize this prototype features. The filtering process is independent of the nature of the process (continuous or discrete) and of the way the raw alarms are produced.","PeriodicalId":435263,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, 2002.

The paper is based on the formalism developed for supervisory control of DES in the full observation case, i.e., the notion of bisimulation, its generalizations (partial bisimulation and control relation), and the finality of the automaton of partial languages. The introduced concept of nondeterministic weak transitions yields a new concept of deterministic weak transitions. These are shown to be useful in the study of partially observed DES. They give rise to the relational characterizations of normality and observability. These characterizations lead to new algorithms for supremal sublanguages that are compared to the known ones in the literature.","PeriodicalId":435263,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, 2002.

We show that it is possible to compute the best cyclic scheduling in p steps with respect to the cycle time by means of an optimal (min,+) set of linear equations. By using (max,+) algebra it is possible to discriminate among the candidate solutions, the solutions giving the minimum time cycle.","PeriodicalId":435263,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, 2002.

It is also shown that the conditions are preserved under a bisimilarity relation so that synthesis methods of state feedback controllers in discrete event systems can be applied in the hybrid systems if the bisimilarity relation is finitary.

The system, modeled as a timed discrete event system (TDES), will be characterized by two operating modes: nominal and degraded. When a failure occurs, the system continues its service on the basis of controllers that provide switching from the nominal to the degraded operating mode. In this spirit, concepts of controllability and stability may arise and we propose to investigate them within TDES. On the basis of these concepts, an algorithm is proposed for the synthesis of controllers able to carry out the system from its state of breakdown towards one of these operating modes.","PeriodicalId":435263,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, 2002.

When constructing a consistent abstraction of a composed system it is first necessary to build the entire system, whose state space grows exponentially with the number of system components. Therefore it is desirable to build this consistent abstraction directly from the composition of consistent abstractions of the subsystems. But the composition of consistent abstractions of the subsystems is not necessarily a consistent abstraction of the composed system. This paper presents a method based on an assume-guarantee reasoning to build a consistent abstraction of the composed system by the composition of modified consistent abstractions of the subsystems. The method is then applied for a case of an Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Controller (CACC) system for an automobile.","PeriodicalId":435263,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Workshop on Discrete Event Systems, 2002.
