Abstract

A problem solving system including apparatus for representing a relationship between a goal including subgoals and its lower level subgoals and for achieving the goal as a strategy of a first kind. Apparatus is provided for repetitively dividing a goal including subgoals into its lower level subgoals according to the relationship between the goal and the subgoals. A strategy of a second kind is used to specify the functions to be performed by the apparatus to achieve the lowest subgoal. Apparatus is also provided for simplifying and solving a complicated problem by executing the goal including subgoals by use of the strategies of the first and second kinds.
