Active diagnosis automotive ontology for distributed embedded systems

Active diagnosis is the retrieval and analysis of the diagnostic information at runtime. In order to enhance the system ability for detecting faults, isolating them, and deciding the most suitable recovery action during the shortest possible completion period at runtime. Thus, it is necessary to build a precise and appropriate knowledge-based model that is able to serve the diagnosis and the fixing tasks efficiently and accurately. This paper presents an approach for an active ontology-based automotive diagnostic and repair for distributed embedded systems. This approach helps in creating better understanding and realization of the knowledge-based diagnostic concepts in automotive systems, as well as the integration of these concepts with distributed embedded systems, to achieve better diagnosis and repair for actual automotive systems at runtime when deployed in the future.
