Each proceeds by an asynchronous, concurrent message communication protocol was described within Palladio passing between nodes. A node in the grid is composed of by an associated behavior defined for the communication a communication chip and a local processor with local chip. The behavior was expressed from a circuitspecific behavioral perspective based on the concept of message passing.

This paper describes ROGET, a knowledge-based system that'assists a domain expert with several tasks system's encountered during the early phases of expert-system construction.

This article reviews the strengths and limitations of five major paradigms of medical computer-assisted decision making (CAOM): 1) clinical algorithms.

This paper reports the results obtained with a group of 24 14-year-old pupils when presented with sets of algebra tasks by the Leeds Modelling System.

FOLIO is an expert system to assist portfolio managers. It interviews a client and, on the basis of expert knowledge, determines the client's investment goals and the portfolio that best meets them. For example, FOLIO may determine that one client requires a preponderance of tax-free investments and a substantial hedge against rising short-term interest rates, while another is best served by a mix of low-risk dividend-oriented stocks and intermediate-term bonds. FOLIO is a test bed for a theory of heuristic reasoning about uncertainty (Cohen and Grinberg, 1983), and its task has many parallels to estab!ished Al paradigms such as diagiosis in medicine and construction of a student model in ICAI domains (Barr and Feigenbaum, 1982). FOLIO uses a goal programming algorithm (Hillier and Lieberman, 190) as a relaxation method for resolving the client's multiple goals into a portfolio that fi'.s them optimally.

It has been argued that the problem of medical diagnos.r_s is fundamentally ill-structured.

These diverse roles impose several requirements consultation programs has become known as »expert systems upon the system.

Report 82-33 Welcome to the MRS TUTOR!!! This tutor is designed to introduce you to the syntax and basic database accessing functions of MRS. This document is a transcript of an interaction with the MRS tutor. Reprinted by permission of the author. Funding for this work was provided by ONR Contract N00014-81-K-0004. Representation languages provide a way to store and retrieve facts from a computer. Since English is a grammatically and textually ambiguous language, representation systems use a more formal language to describe the world. The way in which the words or symbols of a language are put together to form phrases and sentences is termed the "syntax" or "grammar" of the language.
