This paper adresses the problem of maintenance of a complex and heterogeneous system like an aircraft. To optimise maintenance, it is required to embed in the system a health monitoring system that implements diagnostic and prognostic capabilities. This paper thus presents a formal characterisation of the diagnostic and prognostic problems in order to support the maintenance of a complex system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
