Intelligent failure recovery requires the problem-solver not only to diagnose the causes of its failures, but also to cmrcumscribe carefully the propagation of recovery updating . Learning from failures requires that the problem-solver remember the conditions of its failures in such a way that it will not recreate these conditions. In this paper, we describ e method s providing such capabilities. We have implemented and eXPerimented with thes e methods in a rulebased system used for designing complex assembli e s such as electromechanical e quipment.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/114","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/0114.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/114.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/bibtex/114","volume":{"slug":"1979","title":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1979","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/","year":1979,"location":"Tokyo, Japan","dates":"August 20-23, 1979","editors":"Bruce G.
