TEST+: The Extension of an Application Shell For Turbine-Generator Diagnosis
|
Abstract:
As a variety of techniques and problem-solving methods become available for expert systems, practitioners need to understand how specific domain and task characteristics should influence the selection of methods. The diagnostic task domain varies with respect to many attributes. These include the amount and quality of data, degree of access to component failures, conclusiveness of test results, and decision-making complexity. Recognition of these differences leads to the specific architectural features of TEST+. TEST+ provides a variant of the TEST architecture to address reasoning under uncertainty and decision complexity. Integrating the strengths of inexact, evidential systems with the model-based approach of TEST, TEST+ provides a unique and powerful solution to the diagnosis of turbine generators. 1
