Abstract
The goal of the ACT (Automatic Computer Troubleshooting) project is to develop portable software that will help diagnose computer failures. Some of the software will control test instruments and help the user make the diagnosis. Other software will predict the results of signature analysis tests. Functional tests of a target system using the latest available algorithms will be supported. The project will also explore new test algorithms and techniques for diagnosis. The details of the project are discussed. A brief report on the software and test algorithms under development is given
