Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for generating a maintainer troubleshooting tree from the content of a digitally stored fault model of a complex system in real time. The method comprises retrieving all failure modes from a fault model of the complex system for a specific corrective action. The method then receives symptoms from sensors monitoring the complex system in real time and generates a symptom pattern and an associated symptom hash from the received symptoms. The method creates san ambiguity group from the retrieved failure modes. The method further retrieves all repair procedures and test procedures related to the ambiguity group of failure modes, creates a troubleshooting tree for the ambiguity group by ranking each repair procedure and test procedure, and retrieves all technical references encountered while creating the trouble shooting tree. The method then compiles and renders the troubleshooting tree and the references into a user perceivable document.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for creating a complex user interface using a generic computer readable database software application to manage only a specific data subset domain of the database in accordance with a work package. The method comprises creating metadata defining a data subset domain, the metadata including a task specification, a report specification and a view specification and defining attribute metadata, entity metadata and relationship metadata for the data subset domain. The method also comprises data package specification for the data subset domain, specifying a data package hierarchy within the data subset domain, specifying user groups for the data subset domain, specifying view specifications for the user groups. Further the view specification is associated with the task specification and the report specification after which the generic software application is released to a user.
