Towards a unique framework to describe and compare diagnosis approaches

摘要

This paper introduces a unique framework to describe the different approaches to intelligent monitoring and diagnosis present in the literature. In first place, the state of the art in diagnosis is reviewed and then we propose a framework for analyzing the approaches presented so far, based on the KADS standard for development of knowledge based systems. In the end, we present our conclusions on the conceptual level of description of these systems, which lead us to state a general structure for them.
