A new path-oriented effect-cause methodology to diagnose delay failures
Yuan-Chieh Hsu, Saurabh Gupta · 2002
A new methodology to diagnose delay failures is described. Key characteristics of the methodology are: (a) path-oriented diagnosis, (b) effect-cause reasoning, and (c) utilization of information obtained from the passing vectors. Two new representations are developed to make manageable the complexity of a path-oriented methodology. The results of diagnosis are: (a) proven to include all possible causes of observed delay errors, and (b) empirically found to have very high resolution.
