Automatic Design of Diagnosis Systems with Application to an Automotive Engine
      
         It is highly desirable to systematize and automate the process of
designing diagnosis systems.  The reason is that in many applications,
high diagnosis performance is required, and at the same time, the
time-consuming engineering work of designing diagnosis systems must be
minimized.  Here, model-based diagnosis based on structured hypothesis
tests is considered. Principles for evaluating diagnosis systems are
developed, and a systematic and automatic design procedure is
proposed.  The procedure is successfully applied to the problem of
designing a diagnosis system for the air-intake system of an
automotive engine.  The resulting diagnosis system is then
experimentally validated using a real engine.
