    ABSTRACT:: All AI programs are essentially reasoning programs. And, to
               the extent that they reason well about a problem area, all
               exhibit some expertise at problem solving. Programs that
               solve the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, for example, reason about
               the goal state and the initial state in order to find
               "expert-level" solutions. Unlike other programs, however, the
               claims about expert systems are related to questions of
               usefulness and understandability as well as performance.
