Computer-aided identification of mechanical system’s technical state with the aid of case-based reasoning

The paper considers application of the case-based reasoning paradigm for solving of the problem related to computer-aided identification of technical states for mechanical systems employed in petrochemistry. The results of investigation are case models corresponding to the concept of “incident” (known from the practice of reaching reliability) and reflecting the properties and states of mechanical systems; an algorithm of case retrieval; the architecture and software for computer-aided identification of technical states for mechanical systems.
