Abstract

Diagnosis of complex systems is a critical area for most real-world systems. Given the wide range of system types; including physical systems; logic circuits; state-machines; control systems; and software; there is no commonlyaccepted modeling language or inference algorithms for model-Based Diagnosis (MBD) of such systems. Designing a language that can be used for modeling such a wide class of systems; while being able to efficiently solve the model; is a formidable task. The computational efficiency with which a given model can be solved; although often neglected by designers of modeling languages; is a key to parameter identification and answering MBD challenges. We address this freedom-of-modeling versus model-solving efficiency trade-off challenge by evolving a language for MBD of physical system; called LYDIA. In this paper we report on the abilities of LYDIA to model a class of physical systems; the algorithms that we use for solving MBD problems and the results that we have obtained for several challenging systems.
