    ABSTRACT:: A poorly designed knowledge base can be as cryptic as an
               arbitrary program and just as difficult to maintain.
               Representing control knowledge abstractly, separately from
               domain facts and relations, makes the design more transparent
               and explainable. A body of abstract control knowledge
               provides a generic framework for constructing knowledge bases
               for related problems in other domains and also provides a
               useful starting point for studying the nature of strategies.
