<p>The invention relates to online diagnosing of an entity (150) having a plurality of components (c <SUB>1</SUB>,..., c<SUB>n</SUB> ) whose respective health statuses (s) are to be determined. An online diagnosis engine (100) adapted to execute a fault isolation algorithm includes an input interface (130) and a processing unit (110). The input interface (130) receives results ({R<SUB>t</SUB>}) of a set of tests (t<SUB>1</SUB>,..., t<SUB>x</SUB>) performed in respect of the components (c<SUB>1</SUB>,..., c<SUB>n</SUB>). The processing unit (110) generates, in real time, a status report (<c, s>) reflecting a functional quality of each of said components (c<SUB>1</SUB>,..., c<SUB>n</SUB>) based on the test results ({R<SUB>t</SUB>}) currently available on the input interface (130). In this procedure, the processing unit (110) implements simplified Boolean functions representing a truth-table of all possible combinations of test results ({R<SUB>t</SUB>}) and their status reports (<c, s>).</p> |
