Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a method for monitoring an integrity of a system by an monitoring system, comprising the steps of: Performing at least one hard constraint integrity check and depending on the hard constraint integrity check generating a Boolean value about the hard constraint integrity check by an electronic computing device of the monitoring system; Performing at least one soft constraint integrity check and depending on the soft constraint integrity check generating a floating P-value about the soft constraint integrity check by the electronic computing device; Generating a consensus value by rejecting outliers of the P-value and fusing non-outlier P-values to the consensus value by an estimator of the electronic computing device; and Monitoring the integrity depending on the Boolean value and the consensus value by the electronic computing device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product, as well as to a monitoring system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A method for monitoring an integrity of a system by a monitoring system, the method comprising: performing at least one hard constraint integrity check for integrity checks that have distinct and non-negotiable requirements, and depending on the at least one hard constraint integrity check, generating a Boolean value about the at least one hard constraint integrity check by an electronic computing device of the monitoring system; performing at least one soft constraint integrity check for integrity checks in which the integrity exists in a continuous spectrum with no self-evident thresholds, and depending on the at least one soft constraint integrity check, generating a floating P-value about the at least one soft constraint integrity check by the electronic computing device; generating a consensus value by rejecting outliers of the P-value and fusing non-outlier P-values to the consensus value by an estimator of the electronic computing device; and monitoring the integrity depending on the Boolean value and the consensus value by the electronic computing device. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein: a plurality of hard constraint integrity checks are performed and fused by the electronic computing device. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein: a plurality of soft constraint integrity checks are performed and evaluated by the estimator. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein: the estimator uses a median algorithm for detecting and rejecting outliers. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein: a threshold for a P-value is used by the estimator for detecting and rejecting outliers. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein: the P-values are values between 0 and 1. 7 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a program comprising instructions that perform a method comprising: performing, by an electronic device of a monitoring system, at least one hard constraint integrity check for integrity checks that have distinct and non-negotiable requirements, and depending on the at least one hard constraint integrity check, generating a Boolean value about the at least one hard constraint integrity check; performing, by the electronic device, at least one soft constraint integrity check for integrity checks in which integrity exists in a continuous spectrum with no self-evident thresholds, and depending on the at least one soft constraint integrity check, generating a floating P-value about the at least one soft constraint integrity check; generating, by an estimator of the electronic device, a consensus value by rejecting outliers of the P-value and fusing non-outlier P-values to the consensus value; and monitoring, by the electronic device, the integrity depending on the Boolean value and the consensus value. 8 . A monitoring system, comprising: an electronic computing device configured to perform at least one hard constraint integrity check for integrity checks that have distinct and non-negotiable requirements, and depending on the at least one hard constraint integrity check, generating a Boolean value about the at least one hard constraint integrity check, perform at least one soft constraint integrity check for integrity checks in which integrity exists in a continuous spectrum with no self-evident thresholds, and depending on the at least one soft constraint integrity check, generating a floating P-value about the at least one soft constraint integrity check, generate, by an estimator, a consensus value by rejecting outliers of the P-value and fusing non-outlier P-values to the consensus value, and monitor the integrity of a system depending on the Boolean value and the consensus value.
