This paper reports on progress applying partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) to a commercial dialog domain: troubleshooting. In the troubleshooting domain, a spoken dialog system helps a user to fix a product such as a failed DSL connection. Past work has argued that a POMDP is a principled approach to building spoken dialog systems in the simpler slot-filling domain; this pa...

In decision-theoretic troubleshooting [5,2], we try to find a cost efficient repair strategy for a malfunctioning device described by a formal model. The need to schedule repair actions under uncertainty has required the researchers to use an appropriate knowledge representation formalism, often a probabilistic one. The troubleshooting problem has received considerable attention over the past t...

PCR is a well-understood and established laboratory technique often used in molecular diagnostics. Huge experience has been accumulated over the last years regarding the design of PCR assays and their set-up, including in-depth troubleshooting to obtain the optimal PCR assay for each purpose. Here we report a PCR troubleshooting that came up with a surprising result never observed before. With ...

Man, is living in an era that the knowledge is estimated to be doubled in a relatively short time. The fast rate of technology's growth in the "Century of information", is caused by fast growth of communication technologies like the internet which has become one of the best tools for a quick, cheap, effective and vastly supported communication. For an efficient and effective usage of tools and ...

References Advantages of FTTx and PON Components of a PON System PON Installation PON Specifications PON Measurement Parameters PON Troubleshooting Selecting the Right Testing Instrument Conclusion Testing fiber-to-the-X (FTTx) networks that include passive optical network (PON) architectures presents unique challenges to service providers. During installation, the network must meet certain sta...

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 ...

Troubleshooting is the process of diagnosing and repairing a system that behaving abnormally. It involves performing various diagnostic repair actions. Performing these actions may incur costs, traditional troubleshooting algorithms aim to minimize costs incurred until fixed. Prognosis deals with predicting future failures. We propose incorporate prognosis diagnosis techniques solve problems. T...
