'Ibe novel aspect of the problem solver is it ability to weigh advantages and disadvantages of alternatives at choice points. Whenever untenable situations arise, this information is available to the backtracker to determine the most appropriate baclttracldna point. By endowing the backtracker with acceu to domain-specific knowledge, a highly contextual approacb to reasoning in dependency directed baclttrackina situations can be achieved.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/34","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/0034.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/34.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/bibtex/34","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":"Automated Reasoning","track":"Automated Reasoning","number":34,"pages":{"first":188,"last":189},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
