Abstract :
Fault trees developed using an entropy-directed search process without modifications or constraints are discussed. To construct a fault tree using entropy-directed search, the computation load is reduced by determining which tests are not needed for diagnosis. The case study of an antitank missile ncher is presented in the context of a complete maintenance architecture.<>
