The use of a lookahead buffer allows the system to operate deterministically. Different knowledge sources are used to cope with semantics (associated with the lexicon) and syntax (represented as pa! tern-action rules). These knowledge sources coopeate during the query translation so that independent translation steps and intermediate representations of the command are avoided. Therefore the term \"determinism\" is used to mean that all the structures built during the process concur to build the final command representation.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/85","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0085.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/85.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/85","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.
