Abstract :
We propose a discrete event systems (DES) approach to the failure diagnosis problem. We present a methodology for modeling physical systems in a DES framework. We discuss the notion of diagnosability and present the construction procedure of the diagnoser. Finally, we illustrate our approach using a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system
