Abstract:
1. An Adaptive Knowledge Management System for assisting a user with decision making by providing real-time, on-line automated recommendations for actions in a monitored vehicle troubleshooting, performance trend monitoring, health management and preemptive maintenance domain diagnostics and prognostics, comprising: a Structured Knowledge Repository constructed from models, historical data, and heuristics for organizing a model domain knowledge, wherein the Structured Knowledge Repository represents the model domain knowledge in Abstraction-Decomposition Space format, and using constraints, capabilities, relationships as prioritized means-ends rows, and physical organization as prioritized whole-part columns; a plurality of Analytical and Machine Learning tools capturing knowledge from data sources and populating cells of the Structured Knowledge Repository; a Mixed-Initiative Planning module interpreting operation goals for the monitored vehicle and utilizing the Structure Knowledge Repository for developing recommendations for user decision making; and a plurality of Mixed-initiative Decision Support tools using a feedback from the Mixed-Initiative Planning module and querying the Structured Knowledge Repository for incorporating the extracted knowledge and information into outputs dealing with current issues and contingencies.
