Abstract
Diagnosis of system problems relies on a variety of diverse data. The data can be composed of sensor data supplemented by a knowledge base of past problems. Difficulties arise when the data obtained from sensors is uncertain, imprecise, or appears to be contradictory. Further, the sensory data may conflict with potential diagnoses based upon past experiences. This research presents framework for system diagnosis using fuzzy linguistic variables represent sensory data and possible diagnoses based upon experience. A novel data fusion method for the fuzzy opinions is introduced. Additionally, the research develops an innovative procedure for ranking the fuzzy opinions to arrive at diagnosis. The technique first represents data in the form of fuzzy linguistic variables to accommodate diverse and conflicting data and opinions. The fuzzy representation accommodates the uncertainty and imprecision inherent in many sensors. Testing demonstrates that the framework provides accurate diagnosis of system faults.
