“…So far, most of the research effort has focused on identifying and specifying PSMs. As a result, several PSM libraries are now available Breuker et al, 1987;Benjamins, 1993;Puppe, 1993;O'Hara, 1995;Breuker and van de Velde, 1994;Motta, 1997) and a number of PSM specification languages have been proposed, ranging from informal notations (Benjamins, 1993;Schreiber at al., 1994) to formal modeling languages (Fensel and van Harmelen, 1994). The latter area of research is now well established, to such an extent that two projects, one in Europe, IBROW 3 (Benjamins et al, 1998), and one in the US, High Performance Knowledge Bases (HPKB, 1997), have been set up with the aim (among other ones) of producing standard formalisms for PSM specification.…”

. Problem solving methods (PSMs) are domain-independent reasoning components, which specify patterns of behavior which can be reused across applications. While the availability of extensive PSM libraries and the emerging consensus on PSM specification languages indicate the maturity of the field, a number of important research issues are still open. In particular, very little progress has been achieved on foundational and methodological issues. Existing libraries of PSMs lack a clear theoretical basis and only provide weak support for the method development process, usually in the form of informal guidelines. In this paper we will address these issues by illustrating a framework which characterizes PSMs in terms of problem commitments , problem-solving paradigms and domain assumptions . This framework provides i) a theoretical foundation for situating PSM research and individual PSMs, as well as ii) an organization which allows us to characterize method development and selection as a process of navigating through a three-dimensional space (defined by the three components of our framework). Individual moves through this space are specified by means of adapters . In the paper we will illustrate these ideas in detail, with examples taken from parametric design problem solving.

“…Christiansson [4] proposed semantic web and temporal databases as knowledge representation techniques for new generation of knowledge management systems. One of the most sophisticated knowledge modeling methodologies is Common KADS [24]. Common KADS explains how to model a knowledge application through structural top-down analysis of the problem domain.…”
