Standardizing diagnostic information using IEEE AI-ESTATE

Abstract

The proliferation of artificially intelligent diagnostic reasoners and tools necessitates establishing standard interfaces to these tools and formal data specifications to capture relevant diagnostic information to be processed by these tools. Current test standards provide little guidance to using AI technology in test applications. Proposed AI standards (e.g., KIF) do not specifically address the concerns of the test community. Thus, no standard exists, currently, addressing the use of AI systems in test environments. AI-ESTATE is intended to fill this void. This paper provides an update on the status of all of the AI-ESTATE standards and their potential use to support diagnostic tools and applications.
