planning as a technical problem...
-GPS planning as a technical problem (1957)
separated its knowledge of problems from its strategy of how to solve problems : not real-world problems : Soar
GPS as a “solution”: The General Problem Solver by Herbert Simon, Allen Newell, and Clifford
–story generation as a planning problem (1976)
TALESPIN as a “solution”
–story understanding as a plan recognition problem (1977)
FRUMP (Fast Reading, Understanding, and Memory Program) as a “solution”
–question answering as a problem
ELIZA as a “solution”
demo of ELIZA
