Claim One:
1. A system of health monitoring computer (HMC), adapted for communicating with a target system through a sensor network and collecting health data from the target system, and for interactively communicating with secondary diagnostic modules for the target system, comprising: an Embedded Health Monitoring based upon Optimized Neuro Genetic Fast Estimator (ONGFE), comprising a communication and synchronization block interactively communicating with the secondary diagnostic modules for the target system; a Health Monitoring Inference Mechanism (HMIM) communicating with said Optimized Neuro Genetic Fast Estimator (ONGFE), having a plurality of Intelligent Software Elements ISEs which are designed and embedded in said Health Monitoring Inference Mechanism (HMIM) through said Optimized Neuro Genetic Fast Estimator (ONGFE), wherein said Health Monitoring Inference Mechanism (HMIM) is arranged for operatively communicating with the sensor network embedded with ISEs designed by said Optimized Neuro Genetic Fast Estimator (ONGFE), wherein said sensor network is arranged for extracting physical parameters measurements from the target system and generating and inputting the health data including sensor data, status and features to said Health Monitoring Inference Mechanism (HMIM) and Embedded Health Monitoring based upon Optimized Neuro Genetic Fast Estimator (ONGFE), wherein the sensor network comprises a plurality of smart sensors which are customizable according to the target system, wherein a baseline sensor suit of the sensor network is formed with temperature, flow, pressure, and vibration sensors, wherein each of the smart sensors having low power consumption is capable of providing data acquisition, sensor data validation, a library of feature extraction algorithms and communication capabilities, wherein each of the smart sensors comprises a sensor data validation core for signal processing; and a communication block communicating with said Health Monitoring Inference Mechanism (HMIM), wherein said Health Monitoring Inference Mechanism (HMIM) generates health assessments in response to the health data from the sensor network and provides the health assessments to said communication block for feeding Man Machine Interfaces of the target system; thereby each of said Intelligent Software Elements ISEs, which are designed through said Optimized Neuro Genetic Fast Estimator (ONGFE) which interactively communicates with the secondary diagnostic modules for the target system and the sensor network, is capable of performing one function when the function is prognostic function, and is capable of performing one or more function when the function includes failure detection function and failure identification function.
