Abstract
This paper treats the problem of automatic fault diagnosis for systems with multiple faults. The system is decomposed into n units u 1 , u 2 , . . . , u n , where a unit is a well-identifiable portion of the system which cannot be further decomposed for the purpose of diagnosis. By means of a given arrangement of testing links (connection assignment) each unit of the system tests a subset of units, and a proper diagnosis can be arrived at for any diagnosable fault pattern. Methods for optimal assignments are given for instantaneous and sequential diagnosis procedures.

An Algorithm for Selecting an Optimum Set of Diagnostic Tests

TL;DR: An algorithm for selecting a good (locally optimized) set of diagnostic tests which contains no redundancy is described, which will in general tend to give a ``fairly good'' set of test patterns, but is not guaranteed to be absolutely minimal.
