text: The increasing amount of alarms and information for an operator in a modern
plant becomes a significant safety risk. Although the notifications are a valuable
support, they also lead to the curse of overloading with information for the operator.
Due to the huge amount of alarms it is almost impossible to separate the crucial
information from the insignificant ones. Therefore, new procedures are required
to reduce these alarm floods and support the operator to minimize the safety risk.
One approach is based on learning a causal model that represents the relationships
between the alarms. This allows alarm sequences that are causally implied to be
reduced to the root cause alarm. Fundamental element of this approach is the causal
model. Therefore in this work, different probabilistic graphical models are considered
and evaluated on the basis of appropriate criteria. A real use case of a bottle
filling module serves as a benchmark for how well they are suitable as a causal
model for the application in alarm flood reduction.

text: The current trend of integrating machines and factories into cyber-physical
systems (CPS) creates an enormous complexity for operators of such systems. Especially
the search for the root cause of cascading failures becomes highly time-consuming.
Within this paper, we address the question on how to help human users to better
and faster understand root causes of such situations. We propose a concept of
interactive alarm flood reduction and present the implementation of a first vertical
prototype for such a system. We consider this prototype as a first artifact to
be discussed by the research community and aim towards an incremental further
development of the system in order to support humans in complex error situations.
