Glossary of terms<br />
• Diagnostic Performance: the quality of an approach to fault diagnosis in terms of dependability<br />
of the target system, costs, <strong>and</strong> context independency.<br />
• Diagnostic Resolution: the extent to which a diagnosis process is able to minimize the set of<br />
suspicious components.<br />
• Diagnosis Process: process that enables fault diagnosis.<br />
• Discretization: a mapping of variables within the system data, that are in a many-valued<br />
domain, on observables, that are in a few-valued domain.<br />
• Effect-to-Cause Reasoning: see abductive approach.<br />
• Entropy: measure for uncertainty.<br />
• Entropy Gain: decrease in uncertainty.<br />
• Error: the deviation between external system state <strong>and</strong> correct system state [4].<br />
• Error 11: A known error in the subsystem Geometry of the Philips C/V X-Ray System, that<br />
is logged in case one of the mechanical movements malfunctions.<br />
• Error Detection: identifies the presence of error [4].<br />
• Error-on-Solution Database: tool used for fault diagnosis at PMS; a database that contains<br />
error messages <strong>and</strong> their corresponding cause <strong>and</strong> solution.<br />
• Explanation Facility: a criterion of diagnostic performance that is used in this thesis, namely<br />
the justification of a diagnoses.<br />
• Failure: an event that occurs when the delivered service deviates from correct service [4].<br />
• Fault: the adjudged or hypothesized cause of an error. [4].<br />
• Fault Category: A set of fault scenarios that have the same values for (a subset of) the<br />
observables.<br />
• Fault Diagnosis: the process of identifying the root cause(s) of a failure. According to [4]:<br />
fault diagnosis identifies <strong>and</strong> records the cause(s) of error(s), in terms of both location <strong>and</strong><br />
type.<br />
• Fault Isolation Procedure (FIP): a tree-like graph that can used by a service engineer to<br />
repair a malfunctioning part of the system. (usually it is created by the department Service<br />
Innovation of PMS C/V). Also known as test tree.<br />
• Fault Tolerant: a system property that is present in systems that remain operational in the<br />
presence of faults.<br />
• Fault Tree: a tree-like graph that hierarchically subdivides a failure in its causes.<br />
• Fault Recovery: transforms a system state that contains one or more errors <strong>and</strong> (possibly)<br />
faults into a state without detected errors <strong>and</strong> without faults that can be activated again [4].<br />
