Abstract
The lecture will give an overview of the approaches in building
diagnostic solutions for networks and complex systems.
The conventional rule-based approach and the top-down analysis
will be compared with other innovative solutions based on
information modeling and codebook correlation. One specific
solution pioneered by research done in Columbia University
and later implemented by SMARTS/EMC will be presented in
more detail as an example of a consistent approach to diagnostics.
