A Software Architecture for a Fault Diagnostic Engine

This document is the complete Carnegie Mellon SEI format Software Architecture Document for a multi-agent fault diagnostic engine. It replicates all the document sections recommended in the SEI template and the SEI Views and Beyond methodology. The document supports the journal paper "Architecting an Agent-Based Fault Diagnosis Engine for IEC 61499 Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems" by Barry Dowdeswell, Roopak Sinha and Stephen G. MacDonell. A blank template for the LaTeX format of the document has been provided in zip-format for practitioners who wish to develop similar documents. It provides placeholders for all the document sections an examples of the LaTeX structures used to create the document.

本文件为面向多智能体故障诊断引擎的完整卡内基梅隆大学软件工程研究所（Software Engineering Institute, SEI）格式软件架构文档，完整复刻了SEI模板及SEI视图与拓展方法（Views and Beyond methodology）所推荐的全部文档章节。本文件支撑由Barry Dowdeswell、Roopak Sinha与Stephen G. MacDonell发表的期刊论文《面向IEC 61499工业信息物理系统的智能体式故障诊断引擎架构设计》。针对希望开发同类文档的从业者，本文件附带了ZIP格式的LaTeX空白模板，该模板包含了撰写本文档所需的全部章节占位符，以及所用LaTeX结构的示例。
