Summary

An algorithm for the inference of the external behaviour model of an automaton is given. It uses a sequential learning procedure based on induction-contradiction-correction concepts. The induction is a generalization of relationships between automaton state properties, and the correction consists in a more and more accurate discrimination of the automaton state properties. These properties are defined from the input/output contradictory sequences which are discovered after the observed contradictions between successive predictions and observations.
