We consider the problem of finding a commonly agreed upon diagnosis for errors observed in a system monitored by a number of different agents. Each agent is assumed to have its own specialized (expert) view on the system. Collectively, the agents have to agree on one or more diagnoses based on their views. Reaching an agreement is complicated by the fact that the knowledge of different specialists need not always be correct.
