This constitutes e merging, In terms of the underlying language architecture, of a powerful problem-solving mechanism, production-rule systems, with a proven representation formalism. Details are presented on the most basic aspects of the network, namely on representing nodes and on mechanisms for their access. Commands for definition, modification, and search-based displays of network information are discussed. The relations of the network are divided into six groups: taxonomic, structural, functional, descriptive, means-ends, and spatial. The importance of uniformly representing methods and network, and the Importance of distinguishing temporary from permanent states are discussed. There Is sketched a production system position on a number of relevant issues for advanced capabilities. The domain of application is the symbolic description and manipulation of computer structures at the PMS (processor-memory-switch) level. The system will ultimately be used for computer-aided design activities.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/163","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/0163.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/163.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/bibtex/163","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.
