....Base by applying an operator which satisfies a set of Rationality postulates. To be useful in a real world situation, all commonsense reasoning systems must possess the ability to interact with the user when the current context becomes too difficult or too sparse. An example is the OBELICS system [Axling] where a configuration task is performed, not unlike the context for the XCON system (also called R1, see [Bachant] In performing the evaluation of instances of components, the set of successful instances may on occasions be too small to be useful, and the user is consulted for suggestions about ....

....for modularization so that large models can be structured in a way that make them locally understandable. Constraint based configurators thereby achieve both declarative 16 expression of configuration logic and a natural modularization of the model. Recent constraint based tools such as OBELICS [3] also support interactive configuration, allowing the user to interactively select key components. Comparison. A weakness of knowledge based systems is that they are based on a dynamically determined execution order. For hard configuration problems, i.e. when the configurator has to optimize ....

....of methods of Constraint Logic Programming delivers essential improvements in the field of complex difficulties. For instance, scheduling and configuration problems can be solved efficiently and good (regarding given aims) by using appropriate constraint logic methods and concepts (cf. e.g. [3, 1, 2, 5]) The planning difficulty of workflows is similar to scheduling, and configuration problems (cf. e.g. 7] It is amazing that constraint logic based models resp. systems have been only rarely published (e.g. 12] in the field of workflow planning. By this contribution, we try to make this gap ....

....to interact with the user when the current context becomes too difficult. The absence of such a facility leads to the familiar brittleness problems. Our system appeals to the user when the algorithm for resolving contradictions poses questions to solve the contradiction. Compare the OBELICS system [Axling] where a configuration task is performed, not unlike the context for the XCON system. In performing the evaluation of instances of components, the set of successful instances may on occasions be too small to be useful, and the user is consulted for suggestions about similar instances. The ....

.... oaha celsiustech.se CTKONFIG is a project with the goal to investigate the potential of developing a system that can semi automatically configure a highly complex product such as a combat management system, using a tool for development of interactive sales configuration systems called Obelics (Axling Haridi 1996). The project is performed in collaboration between CelsiusTech Systems and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. This position paper will first of all describe the product line, the nature of the sales configuration task, and the requirements on a support system. This is followed by a brief ....

....Obelics is interactive in the sense that it will ask the user whenever there is a choice to resolve, which cannot be determined from the component models. Moreover, the user can edit the configuration, while Obelics keeps track of the dependencies. For a more elaborate description of Obelics, see (Axling Haridi 1996). The demonstration system On the basis of the task analysis described above, a first demonstration system has been developed using Obelics. It meets the requirements given above fairly well, and covers all parts of the configuration task, except allocation of components to nodes in the ....

.... restricted configuration tasks . The rest of this paper is mainly concerned with this restricted class of configuration tasks. 3. Interactive Configuration by Selection The Interactive Configuration by Selection (ICS) approach is mainly derived from the Distribution Product System (DPS) [1], a tool for switchgear configuration which is described below. 3.1. DPS DPS is a tool aiding the work of configuring and selling low voltage switchgear. It was developed by Tomas Axling in 1989 for an ABB subsidiary in Saudi Arabia and still is in active use. The work of configuring and selling ....
