Failure Diagnosis of Discrete-Event Systems With Linear-Time Temporal Logic Specifications

The paper studies failure diagnosis of discrete-event systems (DESs) with linear-time temporal logic (LTL) specifications. The LTL formulas are used for specifying failures in the system. The LTL-based specifications make the specification specifying process easier and more user-friendly than the formal language/automata-based specifications; and they can capture the failures representing the violation of both liveness and safety properties,...
