Presenting Compilation of Redesign Plans and Diagnosis Rules
Qualitative Model into Casual Dependency Graph
-
To infer causal relationships, Simon and Iwasaki's
causal ordering procedure is used
-
# Equations = # quantities
-
Equations must be independent
-
Equations must represent a conceptually distinct
mechanism
-
For quantities controlled externally, an equation
quantity = constant must be supplied
-
Find minimal complete subset :
set of n equations with n quantities that does
not include a subset of such equations
-
Remove these equations and their quantities from the list
of equations
-
Repeat until set of equations cannot be reduced further
-
For each equation in the original set, the quantity
that was reduced last is causally dependent upon
all the other quantities in the equation.
-
From this a directed graph can be constructed
