Diagnostic Reasoning with Multilevel Set-Covering Models
Joachim Baumeister, Dietmar A. Seipel · 2002
We consider multilevel set-covering models for diagnostic reasoning: though a lot of work has been done in this field, knowledge acquisition efforts have been investigated only insufficiently. We will show how set-covering models can be build incrementally and how they can be refined by knowledge enhancements or representational extensions. All these extensions have a primary characteristic: they can be applied without changing the basic semantics of the model.
