| Abstract: | When dealing with nearly decomposable problems such as those described
by Simon (1973), the problem components may be worked on by different
problem solvers that are spatially and temporally separated, with each
problem solver constrained by assumptions it makes about the activities
and choices of other problem solvers, that is by partial knowledge of
the global problem. There are advantages to maintaining multiple
solutions locally for as long as possible, even though a single final
solution is desired. When it becomes less desirable to retract certain
assumptions, these become constraints for other problem solvers and can
be communicated to them via a truth maintenance system. We describe an
extended architecture for an ATMS for these kinds of decomposable problems |
