Abstract

A knowledge-based model for on-line diagnosis of complex dynamic systems is proposed. Domain knowledge is modelled via causal networks which consider temporal relationships among symptoms and causes. Inference and task knowledge is described using the Common-KADS methodology. The main feature of the proposal is that the diagnosis task is able to track the evolution of the system incorporating new symptoms to the diagnosis process. Diagnosis is conceived as a task to be carried out by a supervisory system, which could select the suitable causal network to perform diagnosis, depending on the current system configuration and operation point.
