Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the 11th International Summer School of Fault Diagnosis of Complex Systems, which will take place in Tarrasa, Catalonia, Spain on July, 13th to 17th, 2026.
Looking forward to see you or your students in Tarrasa.
With best regards,
The Summer School Steering Committee: Anibal Bregon and Belarmino Pulido (University of Valladolid, Spain), Vicenç Puig (Politechnic University of Catalonia, Spain)

The Spanish Thematic Network on Supervision and Diagnosis of Complex systems will
organize in July 2026 the 11th Intl. Summer School on Fault Diagnosis of Complex systems.
Currently, automated diagnosis of devices is an interesting research and development field.
It can be approached with different techniques (knowledge-based systems, case-based reasoning,
machine-learning or model-based reasoning) coming from different fields: Control Engineering,
Artificial Intelligence or Statistics. It is not easy to include several of these techniques
in a single course.
This School is an intensive seminar that will take place along 5 days (30 hours) in Tarrasa,
Spain. Its main goal is introducing students to different diagnosis approaches coming
from different research communities: Control Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Statistics, ...
This year we will introduce also Machine Learning methods for prognostics and condition-based maintenance.
The School is open to PhD/master students and also to industrial practitioners interested in
these approaches to diagnosis. Successful applications to fields like electronic circuits,
chemical processes, continuous industrial processes, automotive, satellites, software, etc. have been made.
Tentative programme:
T1. INTRODUCTION. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
T1.1 Definitions: fault, failure, detection, diagnosis, reliability...
T1.2 Foundations for fault detection and diagnosis in FDI and DX: detectability, observability, diagnosability…
T2. THE FDI APPROACH
T2.1. Structural analysis and analytical redundancy.
T2.2. Model-based detection methods: parameter estimation, parity equations, state observers for linear and non-linear models.
T2.3. Fault detection: residual evaluation by consistency tests, and envelope generators.
T2.4. Fault isolation: structured and directional residuals.
T3. THE DX APPROACH
T3.1 Model-based diagnosis from AI Community. Consistency-based diagnosis, CBD: Theoretical (Reiter's ) approach.
T3.2 GDE: the computational approach to CBD.
T3.3 Computational alternatives to GDE. Diagnosing multiple faults.
T4. BRIDGE: INTEGRATION OF FDI AND DX APPROACHES
T4.1 Theoretical links and comparison.
T4.2 Practical comparison and potential synergies.
T5. DIAGNOSING BUSINESS PROCESSES
T5.1 Introduction to Business Processes
T5.2 Diagnosis in the Business Process lifecycle
T5.3 Self-adaptative Business Processes
T5.4 Challenges and applications
T6. SOFTWARE DIAGNOSIS
T6.1 Introduction
T6.2 Software Testing
T6.3 Software Debugging
T6.4 Software Configuration Diagnosis
T7. STATISTICAL APPROACHES TO FAULT DIAGNOSIS
T7.1. Fault diagnosis using statistical methods.
T8. MACHINE LEARNING MODELS FOR PROGNOSTICS
T8.1 ML for prognostics and Condition Based Monitoring
T8.2. DL for prognostics
The Summer School oficial language will be English.
Location: The 11th edition of this established event will take place between the 13th and 17th of July 2026
in the Terrasa Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya· Barcelona Tech (UPC), Barcelona, Spain.
The teaching will take place at the Automatic Control Building, in the UPC Terrassa Campus.
UPC Terrassa Campus is located 30 km of Barcelona. It can be easily accessed by car,
but preferred transportation is by metro (35 min. from Plaça de Catalunya in Barcelona) or train.
