Summary:Abstract: "Problem solving systems incorporating a truth or reason maintenance component have been developed for a number of different domains, including hypothetical reasoning, diagnosis, planning and circuit design. Almost without exception, the problems addressed by these systems are well structured, that is, there exists a complete and consistent statement of the problem requirements when problem solving begins. In this paper we argue that RMS (and in particular assumption-based truth maintenance systems) can also be applied to ill-structured problems. We describe a hybrid ATMS-blackboard architecture which has been employed in the development of a number of design support systems in different domains and briefly outline some of the questions raised by our experience with the architecture."
