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.

Automatic conceptual design using experience-derived heuristics

TL;DR: The technique of Case-Informed Reasoning has been developed and applied to the task of fluid power circuit design, a configuration design task, and offers a practical approach to conceptual design automation in domains where design knowledge is lacking.

The ADAM design planning engine

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a novel paradigm for managing the digital process in which abstract models of design tools are applied to abstract model of design states in a simulated or planning space, until a sequence of design tasks has been constructed to completion.

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

TL;DR: Knowledge representation is at the very core of a radical idea for understanding intelligence as discussed by the authors, which is to understand and build intelligent behavior from the top down, putting the focus on what an agent needs to know in order to behave intelligently, how this knowledge can be represented symbolically, and how automated reasoning procedures can make this knowledge available as needed.

Modeling and Solving Distributed Configuration Problems: A CSP-Based Approach

TL;DR: The use of Generative Constraint Satisfaction for knowledge modeling is advocated and it is shown in an experimental evaluation that the use of generic constraints is particularly advantageous also in the distributed problem solving phase.

LES: A Layout Expert System

TL;DR: An expert system for layout generation in a hierarchical VLSI design system applies a combination of rule- and algorithmic-based techniques on a new layout style and demonstrates its superiority against various standard-cell systems and its competitiveness with human designers.

Production rules as a representation for a knowledge-based consultation program

TL;DR: The MYCIN system has begun to exhibit a high level of performance as a consultant on the difficult task of selecting antibiotic therapy for bacteremia and issues of representation and design for the system are discussed.

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.
