Abstract

A computer is programmed to automatically generate repairs to fix failure(s) while taking into account dependencies between repairs relative to one another, by grouping failures. In some embodiments, the computer uses a map that associates each failure type with repair types that are alternatives to one another, and uses another map that associates each repair type with a template that creates the repair when instantiated. In certain embodiments, repairs within a repair plan are consolidated, to avoid duplicates and redundancies.
