Method, system and program product for establishing a self-diagnosing and self-repairing automated system
First Claim
1. A self-diagnose and self-repair method for facilitating operation of an automated system, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one operational parameter of the automated system;
automatically detecting an abnormal status of the at least one operational parameter;
automatically evaluating the abnormal status of the at least one operational parameter to isolate a possible fault resulting in the abnormal status; and
undertaking automated repair of the possible fault, and thereafter, automatically determining whether the abnormal status has been eliminated.

Abstract
Method, system and program product are provided for a self-diagnose and self-repair facility for an automated machine or system. The facility monitors at least one operational parameter of the automated system, and automatically detects an abnormal status of the at least one operational parameter when present. The abnormal status is automatically evaluated to isolate a possible fault in the automated system resulting in the abnormal status, and automated repair of the possible fault is undertaken. After the automated repair, the facility determines whether the abnormal status has been eliminated.

10. A self-diagnose and self-repair method for facilitating operation of an automated system, the method comprising:
-
invoking from a supervisory component at least one auto-detection component for monitoring at least one operational parameter of the automated system and for communicating to the supervisory component a normal status or an abnormal status condition of the at least one operational parameter;
invoking by the supervisory component an auto-fault isolation component when the supervisory component receives an abnormal status condition from the at least one auto-detection component, wherein the auto-fault isolation component automatically evaluates the status of the at least one operational parameter to isolate a possible fault resulting in the abnormal status; and
invoking from the supervisory component an auto-fix component to undertake automated repair of the possible fault, and thereafter, automatically determining whether the abnormal status has been eliminated. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

27. A self-diagnose and self-repair system for facilitating operation of an automated system, the system comprising:
-
a supervisory component supervising the self-diagnosis and self-repair of the automated system;
an auto-detection component, invoked by the supervisory component, for monitoring at least one operational parameter of the automated system and for communicating to the supervisory component a normal status or an abnormal status condition of the at least one operational parameter;
an auto-fault isolation component, invoked by the supervisory component when the supervisory component receives an abnormal status condition from the at least one auto-detection component, the auto-fault isolation component evaluating the status of the at least one operational parameter to isolate a possible fault resulting in the abnormal status;
an auto-fix component, invoked by the supervisory component, to undertake automated repair of the possible fault; and
wherein the supervisory component automatically determines whether the abnormal status has been eliminated subsequent to undertaking of the automated repair. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. At least one program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying at least one program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a self-diagnose and self-repair method of facilitating operation of an automated system, the method comprising:
-
monitoring at least one operational parameter of the automated system;
automatically detecting an abnormal status of the at least one operational parameter;
automatically evaluating the abnormal status of the at least one operational parameter to isolate a possible fault resulting in the abnormal status; and
undertaking automated repair of the possible fault, and thereafter, automatically determining whether the abnormal status has been eliminated. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
