Fault detection is quite important for discrete event systems. We investigate K-codiagnosability of Petri nets in this paper under the framework that some local sites monitor the operation of the system using their own masks. They exchange information with a coordinator while do not communicate with each other. A fault is detected when there exists a site can diagnose it. We recall the notion of Modified Verifier Nets (MVNs), and prove that K-codiagnosability can be verified looking at some special cycles in the reachability or coverability graph of the MVN. In particular, the proposed approach is available for bounded and unbounded nets. Finally, we give an algorithm to compute the minimum value of K .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
