Automating the Configuration of It Asset Management in Industrial Automation Systems

The installation and administration of large heterogeneous IT infrastructures, for enterprises as well industrial automation systems, are becoming more and more complex and time consuming. Industrial automation systems present an additional challenge, in that these control and supervise mission critical production sites. Nevertheless, it is common practice to manually install and maintain indus...

Automating Transition

To identify objects from the requirements and to model the problem in classes are critical in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD). Unfortunately, this is recognized as a hard task for most software engineers, because both domain experience and expertise are needed, since there is no crisp guideline. We present an approach with a set of artifacts and methodologies, and to automate the tra...

Automating Knowledge Acquisition in Diagnosis Automating Knowledge Acquisition in Diagnosis

This paper argues that automated knowledge acquisition for diagnosis has had limited success in both failure-driven diagnosis and model-based diagnosis. The paper describes fault-based and model-based reasoning for diagnosis and surveys some of the approaches to knowledge acquisition in both areas. The Hakeem1 algorithm I am currently implementing for the automated generation of behavioural mod...

How to Avoid Learning Expect -or- Automating Automating Interactive Programs

Expect is a tool for automating interactive programs. Expect is controlled by writing Tcl scripts, traditionally a manual process. This paper describes Autoexpect – a tool that generates Expect scripts automatically by watching actual interactions and then writing the appropriate script. Using Autoexpect, it is possible to create Expect scripts without writing any actual Expect statements and w...
