Fault Prognosis in Real-Time Discrete Event Systems ?
چکیده
This paper deals with fault prognosis, whose objective is to observe a plant and predict any behavior which does not conform to a specification. We study the prognosis of realtime discrete event systems (RTDES), where the plant and the specification are modeled by timed automata (TA). We develop a fault prognosis method inspired from a recent fault diagnosis method for RTDES. Our prognosis method is based on reformulating the real-time prognosis problem into a non-real-time form, using a transformation of TA into finite state automata where the timing constraints are captured by two types of events: Set and Exp events that correspond to activation and expiring of clocks, respectively. We develop a prognosis procedure that checks prognosability and synthesizes a prognoser. Compared to other prognosis methods, our procedure reduces the state space explosion problem and a practical prognosis architecture is proposed.
