(A)TMS in Expert Systems

Abstract

This report contains a collection of abstracts of talks given during the workshop: (A)TMS in Expert Systems. The workshop was hold at University of Kaiserslautern in june, 1991.1 It was the intention of the workshop to discuss the benefice and problems of integrating reason maintenance systems to support problem solving in expert systems. Reason maintenance systems has been proposed more than a decade before. There is a lot of theoretical work on complexity, semantic, and efficiency presented on numerous conferences and workshops. Given the theoretical results reason maintenance seems to have a great potential for facilitating problem solving. But in practical work a lot of problems arise trying to integrate reason maintenance systems and problem solver. Some of these problems are described in this report and some solutions are presented to them. Jürgen Paulokat (ed.)
