R1: a rule-based configurer of computer systems
TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest a methodology to alleviate the overall maintenance problem of corporate configuration knowledge bases, considering the costs of updating rule-based systems in practice, and propose a methodology for improving the quality of the knowledge base.
Abstract: Sales and technical configuration occur at two different steps in make-to-order business processes for manufacturing. They follow different objectives and, above all, involve different skills. When it comes to computerizing both sales and engineering forces, what are the best options for application development? Considering the costs of updating rule-based systems in practice, we suggest a methodology to alleviate the overall maintenance problem of corporate configuration knowledge bases.

Abstract: Der Workshop uber „Modelle beim Konfigurieren“ auf der KI-93 ist ein Diskussionsworkshop mit Kurzvortragen (5–10min) uber ein Thema, welches z.Z. kontrovers diskutiert wird. Fur einen solchen Workshop vorab eine inhaltliche Zusammenfassung zu erstellen, ist naturgemas eine kaum losbare Aufgabe. Ich werde im folgenden versuchen, die Thematik zu beschreiben und dabei moglichst die Positionen der aktiven Workshopteilnehmer zu berucksichtigen.

Abstract: Mass customization has become a major trend for the manufacturing sector today, as it enables companies to produce customized products that meet customers’ individual requirements at mass production rate. Product configuration tool is an integral part of the manufacturing service system that has been recognized as the key enabler to achieve mass customization. Although intensively studied in the literature, the application of the product configuration is still in the initial stage, due to the lack of systematic modeling and efficient configuration approach. Heterogeneous product information in configuration has to be effectively managed. In this thesis, firstly we give an intensive study on the state-of-the-art computer-aided product configuration methodologies. The advantages and limitations of existing approaches are evaluated. Constraint-based approach is proposed to model and solve product configuration problem. It is based on Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) paradigm, where problem is modeled into variables, domains and constraints. Based on the approach, a systematic product configuration system framework is then defined. Novel product data model and knowledge representation model are designed and developed to capture the domain problem. Moreover, to address the limitation of the manual knowledge acquisition approach for knowledge-based configuration system, a novel machine learning approach which deploys association ii ATTENTION: The Singapore Copyright Act applies to the use of this document.

TL;DR: Through analyzing the performance results on current knowledge bases, THOUGHT gradually constructs a new kind of knowledge structure: solution-oriented structure, which is designed to overcome some crucial shortcomings such as irreparable failure existing in some current expert systems.
Abstract: Considering that knowledge has three levels: object-level knowledge, meta-level knowledge, and structure-level knowledge, we describe an integrated learning system THOUGHT to acquire the third level knowledge. Through analyzing the performance results on current knowledge bases, THOUGHT gradually constructs a new kind of knowledge structure: solution-oriented structure, which is designed to overcome some crucial shortcomings such as irreparable failure existing in some current expert systems.

22 Aug 1977TL;DR: Some of the issues that bear on the design of production system languages are explored and the adequacy of OPS is tried to show for its intended purpose.
Abstract: It has been claimed that production systems have several advantages over other representational schemes. These include the potential for general self-augmentation (i.e., learning of new behavior) and the ability to function in complex environments. The production system language, OPS, was implemented to test these claims. In this paper we explore some of the issues that bear on the design of production system languages and try to show the adequacy of OPS for its intended purpose.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the role of conflict resolution in providing support for production systems designed to function and grow in environments that make large numbers of different, sometimes competing, and sometimes unexpected demands.
Abstract: Production systems designed to function and grow in environments that make large numbers of different, sometimes competing, and sometimes unexpected demands require support from their interpreters that is qualitatively different from the support required by systems that can be carefully hand crafted to function in constrained environments. In this chapter we explore the role of conflict resolution in providing such support Using criteria developed here, we evaluate both individual conflict resolution rules and strategies that make use of several rules.
