Abstract:
1. A method for evaluating one or more failures of a system having system information representing relationships within said system and system data representing the status of said system, the method comprising the steps of: modeling a hierarchical system to include a model nomenclature representation of the system information, model information and nomenclature, system failure mode information and nomenclature, and telemetry information and nomenclature, using the system data; mapping the system information, the model information and nomenclature, the system failure mode information and nomenclature, and the telemetry information and nomenclature into a binding function, using the model nomenclature representation; binding the system information, the model information and nomenclature, the system failure mode information and nomenclature, and the telemetry information and nomenclature using the binding function, thereby generating a bound system; generating an optimized model-based diagnostic interface for runtime execution, using the bound system; determining one or more system failures, using the bound system and the optimized model-based diagnostic interface; and determining a root cause of one or more of the systems failures, using the bound system and the optimized model-based diagnostic interface.
