Title: An Expert System for Fault Monitoring and Diagnosis
Speaker: Kathy Abbott
Date: Tuesday, March 27, 1984, 1:30-2:30 PM
Location: Hill Center, Seventh floor lounge
Kathy Abbott, a Ph.D. student in our department, will give an informal talk
describing her research work at NASA. Here is her abstract:
The Flight Management Branch at NASA/Langley Research Center in
Hampton,Va. is exploring the use of AI concepts to aid flight crews in
managing aircraft systems. Under this research effort, an expert system
is being developed to perform on-board fault monitoring and diagnosis.
Current expert systems technology is insufficient for this application,
because the flight domain consists of dynamic physical systems and the
system must respond in real time. A frame-based expert system has been
designed that includes a frame associated with each subsystem and
sensor on the aircraft. Among other information, the frames include
mechanism models of the associated systems that can be used by the
diagnostic expert for hypothesis verification and predictive purposes.
