The problem of modeling knowledge about the fault behavior of a system and utilizing this
model for reasoning about and diagnosing failures is addressed. A solution that merges …

This paper presents a knowledge-based approach to analyzing fault trees of engineering
systems. This approach can be used to build a fault tree from a graphical functional block …

When a fault tolerant computer-based system fails, diagnosis and repair must be performed
to bring the system back to an operational state. The use of fault tolerance design implies …

All areas of industry are affected by premature failure of components which must be
investigated so as to avoid future repetition. However, the complexity of the interrelations …

This 2-volume work represents the proceedings of the First European Workshop on Fault
Diagnostics, Reliability and Related Knowledge-Based Approaches held in the Island of …

This paper is devoted to fault tree synthesis and is split up into three parts. Part I starts with
the introduction of component models that show all fault propagation through the …

An algorithm is presented for the synthesis of fault-trees. The fault-tree is deduced directly
from a digraph (directed graph) model of the system being analyzed. The digraph describes …

Fuzzy set theory is investigated as a tool for the diagnostics of systems described by means
of a fault tree. The objective is to diagnose component failures from the observation of fuzzy …

Fault diagnosis of control engineering systems can be based upon the generation of signals
which reflect inconsistencies between the fault-free and faulty system operation-so-called …
