Configuring a sensor network for fault detection in distributed parameter systems

Maciej Patan, Dariusz Uciński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The problem of fault detection in distributed parameter systems (DPSs) is formulated as that of maximizing the power of a parametric hypothesis test which checks whether or not system parameters have nominal values. A computational scheme is provided for the design of a network of observation locations in a spatial domain that are supposed to be used while detecting changes in the underlying parameters of a distributed parameter system. The setting considered relates to a situation where...

Sensor network design for the estimation of spatially distributed processes

Dariusz Uciński, Maciej Patan (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In a typical moving contaminating source identification problem, after some type of biological or chemical contamination has occurred, there is a developing cloud of dangerous or toxic material. In order to detect and localize the contamination source, a sensor network can be used. Up to now, however, approaches aiming at guaranteeing a dense region coverage or satisfactory network connectivity have dominated this line of research and abstracted away from the mathematical description...

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...

Mobile sensor routing for parameter estimation of distributed systems using the parallel tunneling method

Tomasz Zięba, Dariusz Uciński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper deals with the problem of optimal path planning for a sensor network with mutliple mobile nodes, whose measurements are supposed to be primarily used to estimate unknown parameters of a system modelled by a partial differential equation. The adopted framework permits to consider two- or three-dimensional spatial domains and correlated observations. Since the aim is to maximize the accuracy of the estimates, a general functional defined on the relevant Fisher information matrix...

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...

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...

Fault tolerance in networked control systems under intermittent observations

Jean-Philippe Georges, Didier Theilliol, Vincent Cocquempot, Jean-Christophe Ponsart, Christophe Aubrun (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper presents an approach to fault tolerant control based on the sensor masking principle in the case of wireless networked control systems. With wireless transmission, packet losses act as sensor faults. In the presence of such faults, the faulty measurements corrupt directly the behaviour of closed-loop systems. Since the controller aims at cancelling the error between the measurement and its reference input, the real outputs will, in such a networked control system, deviate...

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...
