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.

Hierarchical knowledge system

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical knowledge system is defined by assigning parent sets to offspring subsets to define the hierarchy, by indicating the conditions of the subsets which satisfy the predefined functions, and by writing task blocks in an imperative language defining the sequence of operations to perform on the user-defined set of elements.
