Comprehensible hierarchical intelligent (CHI) framework for monitoring and preventive maintenance of aircraft systems

The peculiarities of the aircraft monitoring and maintenance domain are described and shortcomings of the current monitoring methodology are revealed. It is also shown why a new approach using computational intelligence models, as a replacement for the current BITE models, is paramount. In section 2 a brief review of developments in computational intelligence research is given. After which we present the comprehensible hierarchical intelligent framework, as a conceptual non monolithic intelligent approach utilizing distributed CI models for monitoring. Finally we conclude with discussions on the implementation and justification for our approach and direction for future work.
