Abstract:

The problem of representations in problem solving is introduced, and its significance for progress in machine intelligence is discussed. The related problem of forming and using models in machine problem solving is also discussed. Some current research in these areas is reviewed, and open problems are outlined. In addition, more general comments on the state of the art in artificial intelligence are made from the viewpoint of a designer of complex, computer-based, information processing systems. The question of establishing a conceptual framework for intelligent problem solving that would enable designers to generalize and transfer results from specific research projects in the area into their real life situations receives special attention.
