Alarm Analysis with Fuzzy Logic and Multilevel Flow Models

This paper presents one method for combining Multilevel Flow Models (MFM) alarm analysis and fuzzy logic. The already existing MFM alarm analysis algorithm, which is using discrete logic, has several problems when confronted with uncertainty such as noise or signals close to a decision limit. The new result presented in this paper is a fuzzy MFM alarm analysis algorithm, which is more reliable when faced with uncertainties.
