Abstract
A method for diagnosis of functional faults in a functional architecture, including a unit of functions connected to electronic components, producing and using data, at least one datum of which can adopt a fixed pre-determined value, following occurrence of an erroneous functioning of at least one of the components of the unit. The method, while having a unit of functions and carrying out a function for which the input and output data can be assigned to sensors or actuators, determines particular values during which the particular values corresponding to functional faults for the sensors and actuators are listed and generates the functional diagnostic for the function as a function of the lists determined during the determining.

12. A method for diagnosing functional faults of a functional architecture composed of a set of functions associated with electronic components that produce and consume data, at least one of the data being able to assume a predetermined particular value following development of a functional fault of at least one of the electronic components of the set, the method, given a set of functions that performs a service, wherein input and output data can be associated with sensors or actuators, comprising:
-
i) determining particular values, during which particular values corresponding to functional faults of the sensors and actuators are listed;
ii) determining propagation, during which particular values that permit propagation of an information stream relating to defects across the functions are listed;
iii) diagnosis, during which a functional diagnosis of the service as a function of the lists obtained from the determining i) and ii) are formed; and
iv) recording the particular values and their propagation on a memory device for a tool provided for validation of the architecture. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22)

21. A commercial article provided with a computer-readable memory, a program executable by a computer being recorded in the memory for diagnosis of functional faults of a functional architecture, the program including encoding for:
-
i) determining and listing particular values corresponding to functional faults of sensors and actuators;
ii) determining and listing particular values permitting propagation of information relating to these faults across the functional architecture;
iii) forming the functional diagnosis of the service as a function of the lists obtained from the determining (i) and (ii); and
iv) recording the particular values and their propagation on a memory for a tool provided for validation of the architecture. - View Dependent Claims (23)
