Troubleshooting under Uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 technique successfully to troubleshooting problems with printing, photocopier feeders, automobiles, and gas turbines. We report empirical findings demonstrating the high quality of plans produced by our approach.

Extensions of Decision-Theoretic Troubleshooting: Cost Clusters and Precedence Constraints
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...
متن کاملEssential Grid Workflow Monitoring Elements
Troubleshooting Grid workflows is difficult. A typical workflow involves a large number of components – networks, middleware, hosts, etc. – that can fail. Even when monitoring data from all these components is accessible, it is hard to tell whether failures and anomalies in these components are related to a given workflow. For the Grid to be truly usable, much of this uncertainty must be elimin...
متن کاملAssessment of the Risk of Non-Cancerous Diseases under the Exposure of Heavy Element in Urban Areas and Troubleshooting Pollutant Sources (The Case of Zanjan)
Background: Heavy metals are the main air pollutants in cities. Therefore, assessment of the risk of exposure to these metals through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact on inhabitants of contaminated areas of the world is of great importance. Methods: A weekly sampling of air particles smaller than 10 microns was performed in a residential area of Zanjan for two years. Risk assessment i...
متن کاملBayesian belief networks for effective troubleshooting
The maintenance of equipment, machinery and facilities is a vital part of the industrial process and requires millions of man-hours of technician time. A significant portion of this time is devoted to troubleshooingt system malfirnctions. We develop an automated system that uses Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) for effective troubleshooting. BBNs are ideal paradigms to represent the causality an...
