Fast Model-Based Fault Localisation with Test Suites
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We describe a fast model-based fault localisation algorithm which, given a test suite, uses symbolic execution methods to fully automatically identify a small subset of program locations where genuine ...
Its performance is in line with recent alternative model-based fault localisation techniques, but narrows the location set further without rejecting any genuine repair locations where faults can be fixed ...

Ahead of Time Mutation Based Fault Localisation using Statistical Inference
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Mutation analysis can effectively capture the dependency between source code and test results. This has been exploited by Mutation Based Fault Localisation (MBFL) techniques. ...
We introduce SIMFL (Statistical Inference for Mutation-based Fault Localisation), an MBFL technique that allows users to perform the mutation analysis in advance before a failure is observed, allowing ...
Xuan and Monperrus [39] improve SBFL by creating more finegrained test cases based on individual assertions in the existing test suite. ...

Fault current control methods for multi-terminal DC systems based on fault blocking converters
2018
The Journal of Engineering
The analysis is based on simulations in PSCAD|EMTDC ™ with a converter model based on the CIGRÉ WG B4.57, which is enhanced for the use of full-bridge converters with fault current control schemes. ...
This study investigates the applicability of different control methods relying on full-bridge-based converters in combination with high-speed switches for a fast and selective separation of faulty line ...
Since the individual SM switching states and capacitor voltages of the converter are represented, the model is well suited for transient DC fault studies [7] . ...

Short-time Fourier and wavelet transforms for fault detection in power transformers during impulse tests
1998
IEE Proceedings - Science Measurement and Technology
Results from simulation studies are presented wherein the fault condition is modelled as a fast decaying transient superposed on the neutral current. ...
The neutral and/or capacitively transferred currents which are recorded during an impulse test can be directly analysed with this approach. ...
Conclusions A new approach based on time-frequency analysis of signals has been proposed, for analysing the neutral currents directly, for fault diagnosis during impulse tests on power transformers. ...

Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing
The robot is shown to reach its goal in the presence of: 1) unpredicted control errors, 2) unexpected map errors and 3) a large injected localisation fault. ...
While the robot navigates, a Hidden Markov Model continually estimates the most appropriate modality based on two types of information: context (information known a priori) and monitoring (evaluating unpredictable ...
Injected Localisation Fault In this experiment, a significant localisation fault was artificially created by introducing a sudden and unexpected offset of 1m to the output of the localisation estimator ...
