Example 2.3 (KAT-81). Consider the globally controllable and observable system described by the following matrices :

A suff icient condition for the qualitative absence of real fixed modes, based on a qualitative version of the result of Anderson and Clements characterizing decentralized fixed modes, is provided. Some results are then derived ~hich enable us to check ~hether this condition is satisfied for a given qualitative system. These results are illustrated by significant examples.

First we present several methods to avoid or to cancel all types of fixed modes. These methods yield a structure of the feedback matrix (not necessarily diagonal). Then, we present the algorithm of Geromel and Bernussou (1978) that pro vides a method for designing optimal decentralized control with respect to a quadratic criterion. We show that this algorithm can also be applied for the "quasi-decentralized" optimal control.

In this work, a preference model is used to provide non ambiguous estimates at each time point. However, this strategy can lead to dead-ends. Our goal is to anticipate dead-ends at design time and to blame root cause preferences, so that these preferences can be revised. To do so, we present the preference-based state estimation approach and we apply a consistency-based meta-diagnosis strategy based on preference relaxation. We evaluate our approach on a robotic functional architecture benchmark.

Evolutionary Computation Techniques for Telephone Networks Traffic Supervision Based on a Qualitative Stream Propagation Model
Artificial Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms, 1998

In this paper, we consider three of them: multiple restart hill-climbing, population-based incremental learning and genetic algorithms. Their binary version and a real-coded variant of each of these techniques are experimented on a real problem: traffic supervision in telephone networks. Indeed, this task need to determine streams responsible for call losses in a network by comparing their traffic values to nominal values. However, stream traffic values are not directly available from the on-line data acquisition system and, hence, have to be computed by inverting a computational model of stream propagation in circuit-switched networks only based on the Erlang’s formula plus qualitative knowledge about the network. Then, our stream propagation model inversion has been computed thanks to the previous techniques and using several fitness measures to show how their choice can impact on the final results.

The different facets of this problem and the wide spectrum of classes of systems make the diagnosis problem interesting to several communities and call for bridging several technologies. This paper provides a comprehensive picture of the different facets of diagnosis, and exemplifies how different technologies can be synergically integrated to provide better solutions for fault management problems.

Some other variants like MAO* and WAO* are proposed in (Chakrabarti et al., 1989) and (Chakrabarti et al., 1988), respectively. This paper proposes two new methods in order to reduce this too high computation time by building a near-optimal diagnosis tree. ...

Simulation of interval models produces envelopes. These envelopes can have properties like completeness, soundness and hence be overbounded or underbounded. To perform the simulation of interval models there are quantitative, qualitative and semiqualitative simulators. A brief description of some simulators and a study of their properties are made. Some enhancements based on Modal Interval Analysis are proposed.
