Another problem is caused by the ring memory. It was implemented to ignore old<br />

measurement values to avoid a high influence of these values. This allows<br />

recognition of significant changes of general behavior on the short-run but disables<br />

analysis on the long-run.<br />

The succeeding steps curve selection, calculation of <strong>prediction</strong>, recognition of<br />

changing trends and the determination of the <strong>prediction</strong>’s probability are faced with<br />

two big problems, which are caused by a missing ability to recognize external<br />

influences. First of all, every door opening would lead to an assumption of a change<br />

in general behavior, although it should be ignored, if a general change should be<br />

identified. Moreover, this approach is also not capable of predicting upcoming<br />

failures, because door openings cannot be distinguished from real malfunctions.<br />

Faced with these problems, the verification module is not able to offer more reliable<br />

information of a device’s current state, than the introduced method from section 2.3.<br />

Table 4-1 summarizes the just made review.<br />

Table 4-1: Compliance of the Generalized Approach According to the Requirements Analysis<br />

Approach is able to classify the current state of a monitored device<br />

Approach is able to recognize significant changes of behavior on the shortrun<br />

Approach is able to recognize significant changes of behavior on the long-run<br />

Approach is able to predict upcoming failures<br />

Approach is able to identify failures as soon as they are recognizable<br />

Approach is able to avoid an error of second kind in any case<br />

Approach is able to recognize external influences<br />

The introduced generalized approach seems to be applicable within many monitoring<br />

settings that suit the author’s assumptions. But especially the ignorance of outliers<br />

and the very low probability of a real technical malfunction 40 lead to a nonapplicability<br />

of this approach to the setting of sensor based temperature monitoring in<br />

practice. By contrast, single ideas, like the usage of regression and the other above<br />

mentioned approaches will be described and tested on applicability in the following<br />

chapter.<br />
