Abstract

This paper explores two applied classification models supplying decision support system for contamination event detection in Water Distribution Systems (WDS). The two models include an outlier's detection model and a following sequence analysis for the classification of event. The first model is an un-supervised minimum volume ellipsoid (MVE) and the second is a supervised support vector machine (SVM). The novelty of the two models is the multi-dimensional analysis of the data, differing from the parallel one-dimensional analysis that was conducted so far. The performance of the two models for the given problem is presented and compared.
