Abstract :
Recent standardization activities by the IEEE are focusing on defining test specification languages, services between components of test environments, and most recently, interfaces and interchange formats for intelligent test systems. Currently, the artificial intelligence and expert system tie to automatic test equipment (AI-ESTATE) set of standards (P1232) is defining formats and services for exchanging diagnostic knowledge between reasoners on next generation test systems, In this paper, we describe the theoretical underpinnings of the first knowledge format being standardized by the Data and Knowledge Representation Working Group of AI-ESTATE. We also provide a progress report on the standards activity
