As one way of realizing active diagnosis, we present immunity-based agents approach based on the self creating, monitoring, and maintaining feature of immune systems. We apply the approach to process diagnosis where the agents are defined on the sensor network. Each agent corresponding to sensor or process constraint evaluates a kind of reliability by communicating other agents. System level recognition of sensor/process fault can be attained by continuously and mutually monitoring and maintaining consistency among sensor values and process constraints.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/157","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0157.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/157.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/157","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
