The evaluation of the probability of given premises to play a role in a final outcome can only be done when the parameters involved and their interactions are properly elucidated. But, for complex engineering situations, this often appears as an insurmountable task. The prediction of failures for the optimization of inspection and maintenance is such an example of complexity. After reviewing the models of expertise commonly used by knowledge engineers, this paper presents an object-oriented framework to guide the elicitation and organization of lifetime information for knowledge based system applications.
