Abstract
In [NF96] a very efficient system for solving diagnosis tasks has been described, which is based on belief revision procedures and uses first order logic system descriptions. In this paper we demonstrate how such a system can be rigorously formalized from the viewpoint of deduction by using the calculus of hyper tableaux [BFN96]. The benefits of this approach are twofold: first, it gives us a clear logical description of the diagnosis task to be solved; second, as our experiments show, the approach is feasible in practice and thus serves as an example of a successful application of deduction techniques to real-world applications.
