Strategies in Model-based Diagnosis

P. Fröhlich, W. Nejdl, and M. Schroeder

Abstract

The ability to select suitable diagnostic assumptions and models extends the power of model-based diagnosis for complex systems and can explicitly be modeled by diagnostic strategies. We discuss a framework, which allows to express these strategies as formulas of a meta--language and present a method for designing strategy knowledge bases as well as an efficient straightforward operational semantics for exploiting them.
