Fault Diagnosis of Hybrid Systems with Dynamic Bayesian Networks and Hybrid Possible Conficts

Abstract

Here it is, my dissertation. It's me who is going to become a PhD, true, but it has been possible thanks to many people supporting me and working with me during all these years. First of all I want to thank from the bottom of my heart my supervisors, Dr. Carlos Alonso and Dr. Belarmino Pulido for all the work they have devoted to guide me along those years. They have worked by my side, they have taught me how to face the challenges we have found in our way and they have prepared me to become a PhD. If I'm writing these lines, it is thank to all their work during the last four years. I would also want to thank Dr. Gautam Biswas. Thank you for letting me work in ISIS for a period of time, this has been a very fruitful period for my training. I want to thank also Dr. Xenofon Koutsoukos for helping me improve my work with all the meetings and discussions. Regarding my research stay in Vanderbilt University, I have to thank Kristy, Tonya, Jaclyn and Michelle for helping me with all the paper work, it would have been much more difficult without your help.
