      <p>Diagnosis of partially observable stochastic systems prone to faults was introduced in the late nineties.
Diagnosability, i.e. the existence of a diagnoser, may be specifi ed in di fferent ways: (1) exact diagnosability
(called A-diagnosability) requires that almost surely a fault is detected and that no fault is erroneously
claimed while (2) approximate diagnosability (called epsilon-diagnosability) allows a small probability of error
when claiming a fault and (3) accurate approximate diagnosability (called AA-diagnosability) requires that
this error threshold may be chosen arbitrarily small. In this talk, I will cover three aspects of diagnosis. First,
I solve semantical issues like the (non) equivalence of different notions. Then I study algorithmic issues
establishing in most of the cases, the decidability status and the complexity class of the diagnosability
problem. Finally, I explain how to synthetize a diagnoser when the system is diagnosable.</p>
