The use of design descriptions in automated diagnosis

Michael R. Genesereth
- 01 Dec 1984 - 
- Vol. 24, Iss: 1, pp 411-436
TLDR
Dart differs from previous approaches to diagnosis taken in the design-automation community in that it is more general and in many cases more efficient, and allows it to be applied to a wide class of devices ranging from digital logic to nuclear reactors.

Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems: Networks of Plausible Inference

TL;DR: Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems as mentioned in this paper is a complete and accessible account of the theoretical foundations and computational methods that underlie plausible reasoning under uncertainty, and provides a coherent explication of probability as a language for reasoning with partial belief.

Chaff: engineering an efficient SAT solver

TL;DR: The development of a new complete solver, Chaff, is described which achieves significant performance gains through careful engineering of all aspects of the search-especially a particularly efficient implementation of Boolean constraint propagation (BCP) and a novel low overhead decision strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A theory of diagnosis from first principles

TL;DR: The theory accommodates diagnostic reasoning in a wide variety of practical settings, including digital and analogue circuits, medicine, and database updates, and reveals close connections between diagnostic reasoning and nonmonotonic reasoning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosing multiple faults

TL;DR: The diagnostic procedure presented in this paper is model-based, inferring the behavior of the composite device from knowledge of the structure and function of the individual components comprising the device.
Book

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

TL;DR: This landmark text takes the central concepts of knowledge representation developed over the last 50 years and illustrates them in a lucid and compelling way, and offers the first true synthesis of the field in over a decade.

A Machine-Oriented Logic Based on the Resolution Principle

TL;DR: The paper concludes with a discussion of several principles which are applicable to the design of efficient proof-procedures employing resolution as the basle logical process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Planning with constraints

TL;DR: This paper presents an approach to hierarchical planning, termed constraint posting, that uses constraints to represent the interactions between subproblems and is illustrated with a computer program that plans gene-cloning experiments in molecular genetics.

Constraints—a language for expressing almost-hierarchical descriptions

TL;DR: An interactive system organized around networks of constraints rather than the programs which manipulate them is presented, and a language of hierarchical constraint networks is described, one method of deriving useful consequences of a set of constraints which is called propagation.
