ManageYourSelf: diagnosis and monitoring of embedded platforms

Participants : Marie-Odile Cordier, Sophie Robin, Laurence Rozé.

ManageYourSelf is a project that deals with the diagnosis and monitoring of embedded platforms, in the framework of a collaboration with Telelogos, a French company expert in mobile management and data synchronization. ManageYourSelf aims to perform diagnostic and repair on a fleet of mobile smartphones and PDAs. The idea is to embed on the mobile devices a rule-based expert system and its set of politics, for example “if memory is full then delete (directory)”. recognition is performed, using the parameters of the phones as the fact base. Of course, it is impossible to foresee all the rules in advance. Upon detection of a non anticipated problem, a report containing all the system's information prior to the problem is sent to a server and a learning step, using decision trees, aims at updating the global knowledge base and its distributed instances. We are currently working on an incremental version of this learning step. Another current issue is to deal with a dynamic set of attributes.
