Improving classification-based diagnosis of batch processes through data selection and appropriate pretreatment

This work considers the application of classification algorithms for data-driven fault diagnosis of batch processes. A novel data selection methodology is proposed which enables online classification of detected disturbances without requiring the estimation of unknown (future) process behavior, as is the case in previously reported approaches.The proposed method is benchmarked in two case studies using the Pensim process model of Birol et al. (2002) implemented in RAYMOND. Both a simple k Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) and complex Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) are employed for classification to demonstrate the generic nature of the proposed approach. In addition, the influence of different data pretreatment methods on the classification performance is discussed, together with a motivation for selecting the correct pretreatment steps. Finally, the influence of the number of available training batches is studied.The results demonstrate that a good classification performance can be achieved with the proposed data selection method even with a low number of faulty training batches by exploiting knowledge on the nature of the to-be-diagnosed faults in the data pretreatment. This provides a proof of concept for classification-based batch diagnosis and demonstrates the importance of incorporating process insight in the construction of data-driven process monitoring and diagnosis tools.     

Mooring system diagnosis and structural reliability control for position moored vessels

Early diagnosis and fault-tolerant control are essential for safe operation of floating platforms where mooring systems maintain vessel position and must withstand environmental loads. This paper considers two critical faults, line breakage and loss of a buoyancy element and employs vector statistical change detection for timely diagnosis of faults. Diagnosis design is scrutinised and a procedure is proposed based on specified false alarm probability and estimation of the distribution of the test statistics on which change detection is based. A structural reliability index is applied for monitoring the safety level of each mooring line and a set-point chasing algorithm accommodates the effects of line failure, as an integral part of the reliability-based set-point chasing control algorithm. The feasibility of the diagnosis and of the fault-tolerant control strategy is verified in model basin tests.     

Exception handling analysis and transformation using fault injection: Study of resilience against unanticipated exceptions

ContextIn software, there are the error cases that are anticipated at specification and design time, those encountered at development and testing time, and those that were never anticipated before happening in production. Is it possible to learn from the anticipated errors during design to analyze and improve the resilience against the unanticipated ones in production?ObjectiveIn this paper, we aim at analyzing and improving how software handles unanticipated exceptions. The first objective is to set up contracts about exception handling and a way to assess them automatically. The second one is to improve the resilience capabilities of software by transforming the source code.MethodWe devise an algorithm, called short-circuit testing, which injects exceptions during test suite execution so as to simulate unanticipated errors. It is a kind of fault-injection techniques dedicated to exception-handling. This algorithm collects data that is used for verifying two formal contracts that capture two resilience properties w.r.t. exceptions: the source-independence and pure-resilience contracts. Then we propose a code modification technique, called “catch-stretching” which allows error-recovery code (of the form of catch blocks) to be more resilient.ResultsOur evaluation is performed on 9 open-source software applications and consists in analyzing 241 catch blocks executed during test suite execution. Our results show that 101/214 of them (47%) expose resilience properties as defined by our exception contracts and that 84/214 of them (39%) can be transformed to be more resilient.ConclusionOur work shows that it is possible to reason on software resilience by injecting exceptions during test suite execution. The collected information allows us to apply one source code transformation that improves the resilience against unanticipated exceptions. This works best if the test suite exercises the exceptional programming language constructs in many different scenarios.     

面向自动修复并融合失效场景的缺陷定位方法

为了应对日益增长的软件修复开销,研究高效的软件自动修复技术成为学术界和工业界的共识。缺陷定位作为自动修复技术的前端,是实现快速准确自动修复的关键,其精度直接影响自动修复的性能。然而,初步研究表明,现有缺陷定位技术缺乏对自修复需求的考虑,对自修复算法支持有限。有必要研究面向自修复的高精度自动化缺陷定位技术,以提升自修复性能。因此,提出了失效场景的缺陷定位方法来应对该问题。提出的方法首先采用程序切片技术,构造出与失效相关的场景;然后对失效场景的各个元素实施可疑值度量;最后将可疑值度量化的场景交给自动修复技术实施修复。初步实验结果表明,本缺陷定位方法能有效提升自动修复性能。

基于相容关系的基因选择方法

有效的基因选择是对基因表达数据进行分析的重要内容。粗糙集作为一种软计算方法能够保持在数据集分类能力不变的基础上,对属性进行约简。由于基因表达数据的连续性,为了避免运用粗糙集方法所必需的离散化过程带来的信息丢失,将相容粗糙集应用于基因的特征选取,提出了基于相容关系的基因选择方法。首先,通过i检验对基因表达数据进行排列,选择评分靠前的若干基因;然后,通过相容粗糙集对这些基因进一步约简。在两个标准的基因表达数据上进行了实验,结果表明该方法是可行性和有效性的。
