Qualitative Knowledge, Causal Reasoning, and the Localization of Failures.
Abstract
This report investigates some techniques appropriate to representing the knowledge necessary for understanding a class of electronic machines -- radio receivers. A computational performance model 'WATSON' is presented. WATSON's task is to isolate failures in radio receivers whose principles of operation have been appropriately described in the knowledge base.
