The system acts as an \"expert\" on data structures and is to be consulted by programmers during the design stage of their work . A specification method is described which assumes a restricted vocabulary of data structure terminology common to the user and the system. The selection process uses a base of knowledge about known abstract data structures and representations, and provides new combinations of known structures which satisfy complex requirements not anticipated in advance.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/197","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0197.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/197.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/197","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.
