Abstract

The ability to select suitable diagnostic assumptions and models extends the power of model-based diagnosis for complex systems and can explicitly be modeled by diagnostic strategies. Recently, Nejdl, Fröhlich and Schroeder have developed a framework, which allows to express these strategies as formulas of a meta-language. This paper presents a method for designing strategy knowledge bases as well as an efficient straightforward operational semantics for exploiting them.
