A method employing a knowledge base of human expertise comprising a reliability model analysis implemented for diagnostic routines is disclosed. The reliability analysis comprises digraph models that determine target events created by hardware failures human actions, and other factors affecting the system operation. The reliability analysis contains a wealth of human expertise information that is used to build automatic diagnostic routines and which provides a knowledge base that can be used to solve other artificial intelligence problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention is directed to a method that provides reliability and diagnostic analysis for a complex system by incorporating a knowledge database derived from digraph modeling events.
The propagation is determined by executable singletons and doubletons.
Each of the nodes, AND gates, and doubletons is assigned an individual object separately located in memory.
The failure signals are classified as being one of a singleton and doubleton and a singleton and doubleton failure signal is generated therefor.
The singleton failure signals are identified with its respective node and such identification is delivered to the respective object in memory.
The identification step of the singleton further includes the monitoring for the generation of a respective target event associated with the singleton failure signal.
A further sequential identification step is performed to identify the doubleton failure generated signal with its respective object as well as with its own identified node and delivers both identifications to their respective objects, while also monitoring for the occurrence of any target event.
