\section{Background: FMMD outline}
|
|
The symptom abstraction process described here, is a core process in the Failure Mode Modular De-Composition (FMMD)
|
|
modelling technique. FMMD builds a hierarchy of failure mode behaviours from the bottom up.
|
|
Collections of base components are grouped into functional~groups, which are analysed
|
|
and then treated as components in thier own right. These higher level, or derived compoenents,
|
|
can be used to build derived components at higher levels of abstraction, and ultimately
|
|
are used to build an FMMD fault model hierarchy the system modelled.
