A Troubleshooting Approach with Dependent Actions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic decision-theoretic troubleshooting task is described in this paper. Dependency sets are defined for a better understanding of dependent actions. It is shown that an optimal troubleshooting sequence is achievable once these sets are solved optimally. Then, an efficient heuristic method is introduced that adjusts action efficiencies myopically and performs a greedy search. Performance of this approach is tested through empirical studies and compared to other methods from the literature.

Troubleshooting under Uncertainty
We develop a series of approximations for decision-theoretic troubleshooting under uncertainty. Our approach generates troubleshooting plans in the face of uncertainty in the relationships among components and device status, observations, as well as the affect of actions on device status. Included in our approach is a Bayesian-network representation of these relationships. We have applied our t...
متن کاملTroubleshooting when Action Costs are Dependent with Application to a Truck Engine
We propose a troubleshooting algorithm that can troubleshoot systems with dependent action costs. When actions are performed they may change the way the system is decomposed and affect the cost of future actions. We present a way to model this by extending the traditional troubleshooting model with an additional state that describes which parts of the system that are decomposed. The proposed tr...
متن کاملTroubleshooting with Simultaneous Models
The goal of decision-theoretic troubleshooting is to find a sequence of actions that minimizes the expected cost of repair of a device. If the device is complex then it is convenient to create several Bayesian Networks, each designed to solve a particular problem. At the beginning of a troubleshooting process, it is often necessary to help the user to select the proper model. Complications aris...
متن کاملHelge Langseth Bayesian Networks with Applications in Reliability Analysis
We present an approach to efficiently generating an inspection strategy for fault diagnosis. We extend the traditional troubleshooting framework to model nonperfect repair actions, and we include questions. Questions are troubleshooting steps that do not aim at repairing the device, but merely are performed to capture information about the failed equipment, and thereby ease the identification a...
متن کاملAnticipatory Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is the process of diagnosing and repairing a system that is behaving abnormally. Diagnostic and repair actions may incur costs, and traditional troubleshooting algorithms aim to minimize the costs incurred until the system is fixed. We propose an anticipatory troubleshooting algorithm, which is able to reason about both current and future failures. To reason about failures over ...
