Service-Oriented Architecture on the Grid for FDI Integration

Many model-based fault diagnosis approaches have been proposed so far and some of them are applied in industrial practice. But for modern complex processes, due to the variable nature of faults and model uncertainty, no single approach can diagnose all faults and meet different contradictory criteria. In this paper, the importance of integration of different fault diagnosis schemes in a common framework is emphasised. A service-oriented architecture for the integration is proposed based on Grid technologies. Some implementations of this integration for the gas turbine engine fault diagnosis are presented.
