The system architecture and the exchange of information among agents are based on simplicity of agents, hierarchical organization of agents, and modular non-overlapping division of the problem domain. These features combine to enable efficient diagnosis of complex system failures in real-time environments with high data volumes and moderate failure rates. Preliminary results of the realworld application of this work to the monitoring and diagnosis of complex systems are discussed in the context of NASA's interplanetary mission operations.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/47","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/0047.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/47.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/bibtex/47","volume":{"slug":"1993","title":"Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1993","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/","year":1993,"location":"Chambéry, France","dates":"","editors":"Ruzena Bajcsy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Distributed AI","track":"Distributed AI","number":47,"pages":{"first":332,"last":336},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
