Abstract

Monitoring and fault diagnosis are core management tasks for deployed industrial systems. Diagnostic reasoning is closely related to reasoning about implementation correctness. A framework to support the integration of both reasoning tasks is introduced. Many well known formal methods for stepwise program refinement are shown to be compatible with the framework. Compatibility is achieved by treating a formal development as a hierarchical model of the implemented system and then adapting model-based reasoning techniques.
