Abstract:
Electrical networks in developing countries suffer from several shortcomings. One can cite the scarcity of well-trained professionals to carry out maintenance operations, the ageing of equipments, the lack of spare parts and especially the deadlines for the supply in case of purchase. Diagnosis is an operation often perilous, arduous, long, semi-formal and sometimes leading to long calculations or to not satisfactory results. Activities carried out during the diagnosis are sometimes related to particular components of equipment or "modular" steps of a diagnostic algorithm. These different diagnostic modules can be formalized or not. Since recently, situational method engineering is improving its formalization and it allows designers to reuse fragments in the design process in software life cycle for example. The purpose of this paper is to present an environment based on multi agent systems which allows you to apply method engineering in other areas (here the diagnosis in the electrical networks) in order to solve problems specific to subject area. The building process is illustrated by the decomposition of certain diagnostic procedures in simpler activities achievable in parallel on the ground or in a software application and thus, reduce diagnostic time while simplifying procedures. The final goal of this on-going work is to create depending on the context, self- own diagnostic procedure and instantiate it.
