Temporal decision trees: Model-based diagnosis of dynamic systems on-board

Abstract

The automatic generation of decision trees based on off-line reasoning on models of a domain is a reasonable compromise between the advantages of using a model-based approach in technical domains and the constraints imposed by embedded applications. In this paper we extend the approach to deal with temporal information. We introduce a notion of temporal decision tree, which is designed to make use of relevant information as long as it is acquired, and we present an algorithm for compiling such trees from a model-based reasoning system. © 2003 AI Access Foundation and Morgan Kaufmann Publishers.
