LII. An Essay towards solving a Problem

Towards a Theory of Cooperative Problem Solving

One objective of distributed artificial intelligence research is to build systems that are capable of cooperative problem solving. To this end, a number of implementation-oriented models of cooperative problem solving have been developed. However, mathematical models of social activity have focussed only on limited aspects of the cooperative problem solving process: no mathematical model of the...

Towards a Taxonomy of Problem Solving Types

Our group’s work in medical decision making has led us to formulate a framework for expert system design, in particular about how the domain knowledge may be decomposed into substructures We propose that there exist different problem-solving types, i e , uses of knowledge, and corresponding to each is a separate substructure specializing in that1 type of problem-solving Each substructure is in ...

Solving the inverse problem of determining an unknown control parameter in a semilinear parabolic equation

The inverse problem of identifying an unknown source control param- eter in a semilinear parabolic equation under an integral overdetermina- tion condition is considered. The series pattern solution of the proposed problem is obtained by using the weighted homotopy analysis method (WHAM). A description of the method for solving the problem and nding the unknown parameter is derived. Finally, tw...
