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.

Towards a generic model of configuraton tasks

TL;DR: A domain-independent model is presented based on two important assumptions: functional architecture and key component per function that limit the complexity of the general configuration task, determine the basic knowledge needed for solving a configurationtask, and enable more efficient problem solving methods.
