Application of a Design Morphology to the MX/OCC Definition of a Fault Detection and Dispatch System

摘要

This report includes the second year activities in which six criteria for Fault Detection performance were modelled and 180 candidate systems evaluated by a multiple criterion function based on 94 input variables. A Monte Carlo simulation of the maintenance activities of an MX Cluster was developed to aid in estimating input variables, and is included. The application of this design morphology appears to be effective on an unstructured problem and provides a useful vehicle for clearly defining the functions and tasks that meet the needs of FDD and hence, clarify the man-machine interactions.
