Popis: As a special case of experimental design, locating array is useful for locating interaction faults in component-based systems. In this paper, bipartite locating array is proposed to locate interaction faults between two specific groups. Such arrays are especially suitable for antagonism tests. Based on the definition of bipartite locating array, the lower bound on run sizes are established to measure the optimality for specific parameters. When a single fault is to be located, optimal bipartite locating arrays are proved to be equivalent to certain specific combinatorial configurations. As a result, approaches to constructing optimal bipartite locating arrays are proposed and some infinite classes of optimal bipartite locating arrays are obtained using the corresponding construction method.
