It is usually referred to by the term fault isolation and is an essential part of automated systems for operations management. It includes three steps such as detection, localization and estimation.
Typical methods for fault diagnosis make use of simulation to identify the potential responses to a test in the presence of various faults, and then save the expected results in a database. After a test is conducted, the actual results of the experiment are compared with the expected ones. If the actual results match one of the expected results, the corresponding fault is identified. The process of identifying faults is usually iterative, and can be described as a diagnostic tree.
