But dunng th1s penod little attention has been paid to the problem of how to automate the knowledge acquisition process for systems that solve problems by constructing solutions. This paper descnbes SALT, a tool designed to assist with knowledge acqu1S1!1on for configuration tasks. SAL T 1 assumes a problem -solving strategy involving stages of generate, test, backup, mod1fy, a~d regenerate. It exploits this problem -solving strategy to gu1de 1ts interrogation of domain experts and to represent the knowledge they provide in a way that insures it will be brought to bear whenever relevant.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/123","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/0123.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/123.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/bibtex/123","volume":{"slug":"1985","title":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1985","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/","year":1985,"location":"Los Angeles, California, USA","dates":"","editors":"Aravind Joshi","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Learning and Acquisition","track":"Learning and Acquisition","number":123,"pages":{"first":637,"last":638},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
