Claim 26:
27. A method for pipe network failure classification, said method comprising:
monitoring operation conditions of at least one pipe of a pipe network and logging related operation parameter values collected by one or more sensors deployed in, on or in proximity to the at least one pipe of the pipe network, the operation parameter values may be an indication of a failure of the at least one pipe;
monitoring environment conditions of the at least one pipe and collecting related environment parameter values;
intermittently receiving the operation parameter values collected by the one or more sensors;
receiving an indication of a failure of the at least one pipe, or learning of a failure in the pipe network of the at least one pipe by accessing a pipe network failures database that stores records of related operation parameter values collected by the one or more sensors and finding an indication of a failure of the at least one pipe;
referencing, upon receipt or finding the indication of the failure of the at least one pipe, records of a pipe network parts database that stores feature parameter value records of pipes in the pipe network;
retrieving one or more feature parameter values records associated with the at least one pipe; and
classifying the failure of the at least one pipe into one of two or more failure categories associated with different failure causes, based on at least one collected operation parameters values, one collected environment parameters values and one retrieved feature parameter value records
referencing records of a failure history database that stores failure parameter value records of prior failure pipes in the pipe network; and
retrieving one or more failure parameter value records associated with the at least one pipe,
wherein classifying the failure of the at least one pipe is based on at least one the retrieved failure parameter value records.
