This paper presents the theoretical keystone for a decentralization of model-based diagnosis by proving the equivalence between decentralized and centralized residual generation. The proof is based on structural analysis and graph-theoretical concepts. The second contribution of this paper is the design of a decentralized fault-focused residual generation scheme advantageously implementing a strategy of fault isolation on request. Algorithms are tested on the attitude determination and control system of a low Earth orbit satellite.
