BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-77-596 ENTRY:: June 28, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: A review of knowledge based problem solving as a basis for a genetics experiment designing system TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Stefik, Mark J. AUTHOR:: Martin, Nancy DATE:: February 1977 PAGES:: 96 ABSTRACT:: It is generally accepted that problem solving systems require a wealth of domain specific knowledge for effective performance in complex domains. This report takes the view that all domain specific knowledge should be expressed in a knowledge base. With this in mind, the ideas and techniques from problem solving and knowledge base research are reviewed and outstandlng problems are identified. Finally, a task domain is characterized in terms of objects, actions, and control/strategy knowledge and suggestions are made for creating a uniform knowledge base management system to be used for knowledge acquisition, problem solving, and explanation.
