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.

Configurable product design using multiple fuzzy models.

TL;DR: This paper proposes the development of an integrated approach of configurable product design based on multiple fuzzy models that takes into account the different views of the product that occur during the design process, the great number of product variants that can be generated and the customer-oriented characteristic of the configurable products.

Discourse Pragmatics and Ellipsis Resolution in Task-Oriented Natural Language Interfaces

TL;DR: This paper reviews discourse phenomena that occur frequently in task-oriented man-machine dialogs, reporting on an empirical study that demonstrates the necessity of handling ellipsis, anaphora, extragrammaticality, inter-sentential metalanguage, and other abbreviatory devices in order to achieve convivial user interaction.

Methodology and computer-based tools for design, production and sales of customized switchboards

Sascha Nick
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an in-depth review of the switchboard business, including customer interviews, revealed that customer specifications were more complex than customer needs, and customer needs were quantified, and a reduced set of standard switchboard configuration classes was selected so that about 80% of customer orders based on actual customer needs could be satisfied by the standard switches.

Configuring computer systems through constraint-based modeling and interactive constraint satisfaction

TL;DR: An approach to solving the problem of ensuring that the products ordered by a customer are viable products and that they can be delivered at the quoted price is presented through constraint-based modeling and interactive constraint satisfaction.

Production system conflict resolution strategies1

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.
