Research of Environment-Oriented Fault Representation for Software-Intensive Equipment

Faults triggered by variability and inconsistency of running environment emerge in the highest frequency, and are difficult to recognize and diagnose in the software-intensive equipment. By systematically analyzing and summarizing environmental factors which can disable the equipment for work, a kind of fresh fault classification is put forward in this paper. Further, the formal representation based on frame is clearly given to each type of environmental fault in detail. Diagnosis system based on this classification is successful and effective to resolve most of faults in practice.
