ABSTRACT:
An adaptive distributed diagnostic system and method for a network having at least a first, a second and a third nodes. Both the third and first nodes and the third and second nodes, respectively, are in communication with each other via the network. The first node can directly test a state of the third node and indirectly test through the third node a state of the second node. The second node can directly test a state of the third node and indirectly test through the third node a state of the first node. The third node can directly test both a state of the first node and a state of the second node. The third node has a testing assignment based on given circumstances at a corresponding time.
