Previous chapters have introduced many theoretical concepts that help improve the performance of probabilistic inference. These concepts were implemented in a tool called ParaGnosis, an open-source tool that supports inference queries on discrete Bayesian networks through WMC. This tool can be found on GitHub 1 and Zenodo 2 to ensure long-term availability and has a DOI 3 . ParaGnosis was awarded the Functional, Reusable and Available badges by TACAS 2023: the 29th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems. This chapter is based on [39]. My contributions are the writing of the paper and I am the creator of ParaGnosis, where concepts are implemented from [40-43]. Chapter 8: Model-based Probabilistic Diagnosis in Large ModelsModel-based diagnostics or diagnosis is concerned with diagnosing faults or malfunction of physical or cyber-physical systems using a model of the structure and behavior of a real-world system. As cyber-physical systems can be extremely large and complex the associated models can be equally large and complex, imposing a challenge on the computational feasibility of reasoning with such models. In this chapter, we create such a system and evaluate its performance and diagnostic behavior.This chapter is based on a submitted article. My contributions are the writing of the paper and performing the empirical evaluation using ParaGnosis.
Chapter 9: Discussion And ConclusionsResearch presented in this thesis is briefly summarized, and brought into context of what was achieved and other research. We also look toward future work and hypothesize on promising research directions.
