    ABSTRACT:: The Meta-DENDRAL program is described in general terms that
               are intended to clarify the similarities and differences to
               other learning programs. Its approach of model-directed
               heuristic search through a complex space of possible rules
               appears well suited to many induction tasks. The use of a
               strong model of the domain to direct the rule search has been
               demonstrated for rule formation in two areas of chemistry.
               The high performance of programs which use the generated
               rules attests to the success of this learning strategy.
