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.

Searching beyond reason

TL;DR: McDermott argues that “many inferences which seem so straightforward that they must be deductions turn out to have nondeductive components,” and claims to have found Hayes himself bending the rules of logic.

Machine Learning in Engineering Design: Learning Generalized Design Prototypes from Examples

TL;DR: This paper describes how a conceptual clustering program is extended to learn engineering design knowledge by clustering function, structure, and behavior attribute-value pairs, resulting in generalized design prototypes.

Extending CATS: mixed-initiative inferencing

TL;DR: An extension to CATS is described to support mixed-initiative inferencing to support user-supplied information and issues discussed are: when the user can volunteer information; what information the users can volunteer; how the system treats that information; and what the system must do when the users' information conflicts with the system's current knowledge.
