R1: a rule-based configurer of computer systems

John McDermott
- 01 Sep 1982 - 
- Vol. 19, Iss: 1, pp 39-88
TLDR
R1 is a program that configures VAX-11/780 computer systems and uses Match as its principal problem solving method; it has sufficient knowledge of the configuration domain and of the peculiarities of the various configuration constraints that at each step in the configuration process, it simply recognizes what to do.

Knowledge refinement approach through incorporating case-based knowledge in maintenance engineer scheduling AI system

TL;DR: To overcome the problems of the knowledge refinement in this scheduling system, two (naive/elaborate case- based) approaches incorporating case-based knowledge are proposed for efficient knowledge refinement of a practical complex AI scheduling system.

A strategy for near-term success using knowledge-based systems

TL;DR: Knowledge-based systems have been applied to a variety of knowledge-related tasks with varying degrees of success as discussed by the authors, and differentiating among classes of knowledge related tasks, based on the amounts of problem-solving knowledge and case-specific data involved, can provide valuable insight into why this occurs.

DIDS: rapidly prototyping configuration design systems

TL;DR: The domain independent design system (DIDS) provides a set of tools for rapidly constructing new configuration design systems from a library of reusable software elements called mechanisms that enables reusable mechanisms to be identified and automatically selected based on a problem's characteristics.

Problem solving methods and knowledge systems: A personal journey to perceptual images as knowledge

TL;DR: This paper summarizes the evolution of my ideas in the last two decades on problem solving methods and raises the question of what is in memory that is not knowledge as traditionally conceived in AI, but can support the construction of knowledge in predicate–symbolic form.
