This paper discusses the phenomena involved in natural language generation planning and argues that a blackboard-type architecture with agenda-style control is more appropriate for this task than a sequential control architecture with backtracking. The blackboard architecture we describe is implemented in the language generator DIOGENES.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/243","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/0243.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/243.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/bibtex/243","volume":{"slug":"1989","title":"Proceedings of the Eleventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1989","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1989/","year":1989,"location":"Detroit, Michigan, USA","dates":"August 20-25 1989","editors":"N.
