[Diagnosis Summer School in Terrasa, Spain] Early bird registration extended to May 15th

[José Belarmino Pulido Junquera]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to inform you that, due to several requests received, the
early bird registration for the XI International Summer School of Fault
Diagnosis of Complex Systems has been extended until May 15th.

You can find more information and complete your registration at:
https://diagnosis.cs2ac.upc.edu/

We look forward to your participation.
Best regards,

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.

This Summer School is an intensive seminar that will take place along 5
days (30 hours) in Terrasa,
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.

Final 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 well established event will take
place 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.
