Model Transformation from CBM to EPL Rules to Detect Failure Symptoms.

The increasing complexity of modern systems, cost reduction policies and ever increasing safety requirements are bringing new challenges to the maintenance domain. In many fields, periodic maintenance actions become either insufficient or too expensive. In this context, Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) strategies, and Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) in particular, are offering an interesting alternative by allowing systems to be maintained only when needed. These strategies rely on a constant monitoring and analysis of the systems operating conditions in order to detect and identify a failure when it occurs and even sometimes beforehand.
