1. A method for implementing a diagnostic system comprising:
- receiving an observed symptom that characterizes a discrepancy report of a complex system, wherein the observed symptom is received by a computer implemented system;
associating the observed symptom with contents of at least one electronic manual to capture relevant information therefrom; and
, evaluating the relevant information by the computer implemented system to recommend at least one desired action for mitigation of the discrepancy report without assuming knowledge about a historical discrepancy report similar to the reported discrepancy.

Abstract
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method for implementing a diagnostic system pertaining to a complex system includes receiving, by a computer implemented system, an observed symptom that characterizes a discrepancy report of a complex system, associating the observed symptom with contents of at least one electronic manual to capture relevant information therefrom, and evaluating the relevant information by the computer implemented system to recommend at least one desired action for mitigation of the discrepancy report without assuming knowledge about a historical discrepancy report similar to the reported discrepancy.

13. A method for implementing a diagnostic system comprising:
-
receiving an observed symptom that characterizes a discrepancy report of a complex system, wherein the observed symptom is received by a computer implemented system;
associating the observed symptom with contents of a plurality of electronic manual conforming to a SGML format to capture relevant information therefrom; and
,evaluating the relevant information by the computer implemented system to recommend at least one corrective action for mitigation of the discrepancy report without assuming knowledge about a historical discrepancy report similar to the reported discrepancy, wherein the corrective action is evaluated from data characterizing an association of each of a plurality of standard symptoms to corresponding ones of a plurality of diagnostic faults and an association of each of the plurality of diagnostic faults to corresponding ones of a plurality of corrective actions.

14. A computer readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instruction for causing a digital processing system to implement a diagnostic system, wherein the sequences of instruction are performed by at least one processor to execute functions of:
-
receiving an observed symptom that characterizes a discrepancy report of a complex system;
associating the observed symptom with contents of at least one electronic manual to capture relevant information therefrom; and
,evaluating the relevant information by the digital processing system to recommend at least one desired action for mitigation of the discrepancy report without assuming knowledge about a historical discrepancy report similar to the reported discrepancy. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
