Users supply the system with problem specifications, such as the required output data, and the system produces a graphic representation of the completed application in the form of a flow diagram. The application design task has forced us to consider two important issues in expert system architecture : constraint processing and the explicit representation of c o ntrol fl ow. The resulting knowledge repr e sentation and control logic are discussed.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/169","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0169.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/169.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/169","volume":{"slug":"1981","title":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1981","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/","year":1981,"location":"Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada","dates":"24-28 August 1981","editors":"Roger C.
