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.

Human‐computer interaction: A critical synthesis

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical synthesis of human-computer interaction is presented. But the synthesis is restricted to a single task: computer interaction, not a set of tasks, as in this paper.

Discourse Pragmatics in Task-Oriented Natural Language Interfaces

TL;DR: This paper reviews discourse phenomena that arise in task.oriented man.machine dialogs, and outlines the results of an empirical study, and presents the method for handling generalized ellipsis resolution in the XCALIBUR expert system interface.

Towards a general scientific reasoning engine

TL;DR: It is argued that such an engine could provide the ability to reason from basic principles in the absence of directly applicable specific information, principled knowledge acquisition by using existing general patterns to structure new information, and congenial explanation and instruction in terms of general and familiar patterns of inference.

Configuration expert systems: a case study and tutorial

Bernd Neumann
TL;DR: This contribution discusses the architecture of expert systems for configuration tasks in technical domains with the objective to develop application-specific tools for expert system development and concludes that a knowledge- based architecture much different from the conventional rule-based architecture is adequate for configuration systems.

Asynchronous production systems

TL;DR: The Asynchronous Production System is presented, which is a rule-based inference engine capable of monitoring and processing asynchronous, real-time information to provide a unique and convenient mechanism for designingRule-based expert systems capable of dynamic and rapid interaction with their environments.

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.
