# PROBLEM SOLVING TACTICS



*Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*.

## Abstract

This paper describes the basic strategies of automatic problem solving, and then focuses on a variety of tactics for improving their efficiency. An attempt is made to provide some perspective on and structure to the set of tactics. Finally, some new directions for problemsolving research are discussed, and a personal perspective is provided on where the work is headed: toward greater flexibility of control and more intimate integration of plan generation, execution, and repair.
