THE DIPMETER ADVISOR SYSTEM A Case Study In Commercial Expert System Development (2009)
We discuss commercial expert system development, using our experience with the Dipmeter Advisor system as a case study. While the data is too sparse for definitive results, several ideas have emerged...
Negotiation Distributed Recommended by Lee Erman as a Metaphor for Problem Solving (2008)
We describe the concepr of distributed problem solving and define it as the cooperative solution of problems by a decentralized and loosely coupled collection of problem solvers. This approach to...
The Road Ahead for Knowledge Management (2008)
An Ai Perspective, Reid G. Smith, Adam Farquhar
■ Enabling organizations to capture, share, and apply the collective experience and know-how of their people is seen as fundamental to competing in the knowledge economy. As a result, there has...
Reid G. Smith, Howard A. Winston, Tom M. Mitchell, Bruce G. Buchanan
We discuss the representation and use of justification structures as an aid to knowledge base refinement. We show how justifications can be used by a system to generate explanations – for its own...
A Model for Learning Systems. (2002)
Smith,Reid G., Mitchell,Tom M., Chestek,Richard A., Buchanan,Bruce G.
A model for learning systems is presented, and representative AI, pattern recognition, and control systems are discussed in terms of its framework. The model details the functional components felt to...
Distributed Problem Solving: The Contract Net Approach. (2002)
The ongoing revolution in LSI technology is drastically reducing the cost of computer components, making multiple processor architectures economically viable. These architectures have the potential...
Models of Learning Systems. (2002)
Buchanan,Bruce G., Mitchell,Tom M., Smith,Reid G.
The terms adaptation, learning, concept-formation, induction, self-organization, and self-repair have all been used in the context of learning system (LS) research. In this article, three distinct...
Considerations for Microprocessor-Based Terminal Design. (2002)
Smith,Reid G., Mitchell,Tom M.
We discuss the design of hardware and software for inexpensive microprocessor-based terminal/microcomputers. Such devices are fundamentally microcomputers that have been adapted, with specialized...
Representations for Reasoning About Digital Circuits. (2002)
Mitchell,Tom M., Steinberg,Lou, Smith,Reid G., Jacobs,Howard, Schooley,Pat
We are interested in developing programs that reason about digital electronic circuits, in order to design, redesign, and debug them. The first step toward developing such programs is to determine a...
Negotiation as a Metaphor for Distributed Problem Solving (1981)
Davis, Randall, Smith, Reid G.
We describe the concept of distributed problem solving and define it as the cooperative solution of problems by a decentralized and loosely coupled collection of problem solvers. This approach to...
Negotiation as a Metaphor for Distributed Problem Solving (1981)

Frameworks for Cooperation in Distributed Problem Solving (1981)
Abstract — Two forms of cooperation in distributed problem solving are considered: task-sharing and result-sharing. In the former, nodes assist each other by sharing the computational load for the...
A framework for problem solving in a distributed processing environment [microform] / (1978)
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Stanford University.
A model for learning systems (1977)
Reid G. Smith, Tom M. Mitchell, Richard A. Chestek, Bruce G. Buchanan
A model for learning systems is presented, and representative AI, pattern recognition, and control systems are discussed in terms of its framework. The model details the functional components felt to...
