DX99: Tenth International Workshop on Principles of Diagnosis
http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/dx99/
June 8-11 1999
Loch Awe Hotel, Scotland (collocated with QR99)
INTRODUCTION
This international workshop encourages interaction and co-operation among
researchers with diverse approaches and backgrounds to diagnosis.
The workshops are annual events that have been traditionally held in
attractive out-of-city locations with good walking nearby. The number of
attendees is
normally kept below fifty contributing participants. A single track
programme with
generous presentation times, together with discussion and poster sessions,
ensures
that there is time for real technical exchange and debate.
IMPORTANT DATES
Title/Abstract submission deadline:
January 29, 1999
Paper submission deadline:
February 1, 1999
** IF YOU NEED A SHORT EXTENSION TO THE DEADLINE, PLEASE CONTACT ROB MILNE
OR MIKE CHANTLER **
Acceptance notification:
March 22, 1999
Camera-ready copy due:
April 9, 1999
DX99 Workshop:
June 8-11 1999
QR99 Workshop:
June 6-9, 1999
LOCATION
DX99 and QR99 will be collocated at Loch Awe Hotel a country mansion
overlooking a Scottish Loch. Loch Awe is a couple of hours drive north
west of the
Glasgow, Scotland International airport and the hotel is next to a train
stop.
TOPICS
In addition to papers on traditional DX topics, we would like to invite
papers that discuss FDI/DX issues. FDI research covers traditional
quantitative approaches to diagnosis (state observers etc.) and in recent
years fuzzy, neural net,
and GA techniques have also been of increasing interest.
Papers that compare or integrate DX and FDI techniques, or discuss the
relationship between FDI and DX research are therefore very welcome in
addition to papers on the traditional DX topics listed below:
Theory of diagnosis: abductive, consistency-based, causal,
probabilistic, constraint-based, temporal.
Computational issues: controlling combinatorial explosion,
focusing strategies, controlling inference in complex systems,
use of structural knowledge, hierarchies.
Modelling for diagnosis: multiple, approximate, incomplete,
probabilistic, functional, and qualitative models, integration
of heuristics with model-based diagnosis, principles of
modelling, modelling dynamic systems, acquiring models and
diagnostic knowledge.
The diagnosis process: strategies for repair, monitoring, sensor
placement, test selection, resource-bounded diagnosis,
real time diagnosis, on-board fault protection.
Interesting connections between diagnosis and other areas, as traditional
FDI techniques (discussed above), logic programming,
machine learning, planning, real time languages,
software VV/debugging/synthesis.
Principled Applications: Of particular interest is the
relationship between the techniques applied in practice and
computational models of diagnosis. Real world applications are
encouraged from a wide range of fields, such as medicine,
chemical, mechanical, electrical, and electronics systems.
There will be some joint sessions including both the DX and QR attendees.
Authors wishing their papers to be considered for the joint sessions
should indicate this on the title page. Note that authors should also
indicate a preference for QR or DX as it may be necessary to include
some 'joint'
papers in a QR only or DX only session.
