Abstract
This thesis analyzes the diagnostic domain and isolates the heuristics employed
by experts to arrive at diagnostic solutions. These heuristic methods are then
generalized in order to arrive at a series of heuristic rules that can be applied to a wide
range of diagnostic processes independent of there respective domain. To test the
validity of the generalized heuristics, a prototype expert system was created targeting
the heuristics employed by avionics repair technicians in repair of the APS- 1 15 radar
system on the P-3C Orion.
