Sensor network scheduling for identification of spatially distributed processes

Dariusz Uciński (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The work treats the problem of fault detection for processes described by partial differential equations as that of maximizing the power of a parametric hypothesis test which checks whether or not system parameters have nominal values. A simple node activation strategy is discussed for the design of a sensor network deployed in a spatial domain that is supposed to be used while detecting changes in the underlying parameters which govern the process evolution. The setting considered relates...

Distributed scheduling of sensor networks for identification of spatio-temporal processes

Maciej Patan (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

An approach to determine a scheduling policy for a sensor network monitoring some spatial domain in order to identify unknown parameters of a distributed system is discussed. Given a finite number of possible sites at which sensors are located, the activation schedule for scanning sensors is provided so as to maximize a criterion defined on the Fisher information matrix associated with the estimated parameters. The related combinatorial problem is relaxed through operating on the density...

A new efficient and flexible algorithm for the design of testable subsystems

Stéphane Ploix, Abed Alrahim Yassine, Jean-Marie Flaus (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In complex industrial plants, there are usually many sensors and the modeling of plants leads to lots of mathematical relations. This paper presents a general method for finding all the possible testable subsystems, i.e., sets of relations that can lead to various types of detection tests. This method, which is based on structural analysis, provides the constraints that have to be used for the design of each detection test and manages situations where constraints contain non-deductible...

Data-driven models for fault detection using kernel PCA: A water distribution system case study

Adam Nowicki, Michał Grochowski, Kazimierz Duzinkiewicz (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA), an example of machine learning, can be considered a non-linear extension of the PCA method. While various applications of KPCA are known, this paper explores the possibility to use it for building a data-driven model of a non-linear system-the water distribution system of the Chojnice town (Poland). This model is utilised for fault detection with the emphasis on water leakage detection. A systematic description of the system's framework is...

Suboptimal fault tolerant control design with the use of discrete optimization

Zdzisław Kowalczuk, Krzysztof E. Oliński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper presents a concept of designing fault tolerant control systems with the use of suboptimal methods. We assume that a given (nonlinear) dynamical process is described in a state space. The method consists in searching (at the off-line stage) for a trajectory of operational points of the system state space. The sought trajectory can be constrained by certain conditions, which can express faults or failures already detected. Within this approach, we are able to use the autonomous...

Advances in model-based fault diagnosis with evolutionary algorithms and neural networks

Marcin Witczak (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Challenging design problems arise regularly in modern fault diagnosis systems. Unfortunately, the classical analytical techniques often cannot provide acceptable solutions to such difficult tasks. This explains why soft computing techniques such as evolutionary algorithms and neural networks become more and more popular in industrial applications of fault diagnosis. The main objective of this paper is to present recent developments regarding the application of evolutionary algorithms...
