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.

The epistemology of a rule-based expert system: a framework for explanation

TL;DR: This paper examines MYCIN''s rujles from the perspective of a teacher trying to justify them and to convey a problem-solving approach, and discovers that individual rules play different roles, have different kinds of justifications, and are constructed using different rationales for the ordering and choice of premise clauses.

Generic Tasks in Knowledge-Based Reasoning: High-Level Building Blocks for Expert System Design

TL;DR: Six generic tasks that are very useful as building blocks for the construction of knowledge-based systems are found: hierarchical classification, hypothesis matching, and knowledge-directed information passing as three generic tasks and showed how certain classes of diagnostic problems can be implemented as an integration of these generic tasks.
