A Review of Sisyphus 91 & 92: Models of Problem-Solving Knowledge

We summarize the papers submitted for the methods-of-problem-solving part of Sisyphus in 1991 and 1992. We describe a three-dimensional framework to situate and compare the different approaches that were used to solve the office assignment problem. We analyze the approaches by highlighting the building blocks they provide to the model creator, their focus (i.e., conceptualisation or implementation), and the support they provide for special activities in the development cycle for knowledge-based systems.
