Abstract
This paper describes some general diagnostic reasoning techniques which exploit recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence. They are applicable to a variety of human-engineered systems, including hydraulic, mechanical, and optical ones, but the primary focus has been on electronic systems. These techniques were developed over a period of several years of research in this area at the Naval Research Laboratory. One of the products of this research is a fully implemented diagnostic reasoning system called FIS which embodies these techniques and is in use at a variety of government and industrial laboratories.
