Representing System Behaviors and Expert Behaviors for Intelligent Tutoring

Abstract : Simulation-based software tools that can infer system behaviors from a deep model of the system have the potential for automatically building the semantic representations required to support intelligent tutoring in fault diagnosis. The Intelligent Maintenance Training System (IMTS) is such a resource, designed for use in training troubleshooting skills and in conducting research into intelligent instruction. The IMTS incorporates a generalized model of an expert diagnostician, termed Profile, to evaluate student performance and to recommend improved fault isolation strategies.
