Abstract
A fault identification system analyzes alarm information and the associated contextual information to identify the occurred faults. The contextual information is based on usecases, transactions, and functions associated with the electronic system under consideration. Multiple detectors that form part of knowledge repositories are used in the process of fault identification.
Claims16
A fault identification system, for efficiently identifying the faults occurring in a core electronic system based on the analysis of the observed alarm information and the state of hardware and software subsystems, comprising means for reducing the ambiguity and complexity arising due to the enormity of a plurality of alarms generated by said core electronic system and further comprising:
- (a) an online subsystem, TRE, for analyzing said core electronic system for a plurality of transactions;
- (b) an online subsystem, ERE, for analyzing said core electronic system for a plurality of execution snapshots with respect to said plurality of alarms;
- (c) an online subsystem, FRE, for analyzing said core electronic system with respect to a plurality of functions of said core electronic system based on said plurality of alarms;
- (d) an online subsystem, SRE, for analyzing said core electronic system with respect to a plurality of hard-variables;
- (e) an online subsystem, MRE, for analyzing said core electronic system with respect to a plurality of soft-variables;
- (f) an online subsystem, CIC, for collecting said plurality of alarms and for generating contextual space information associated with said plurality of alarms;
- (g) an online subsystem, GRE, for identifying and localizing faults based on said plurality of alarms and a contextual information associated with said plurality of alarms;
- and
- (h) an offline subsystem, SS, for analyzing said core electronic system with respect to a plurality of usecases and a plurality of transactions.
