An Introduction to Production Systems,

Abstract

Production systems provide a simple, uniform way of handling control flow and data management in programs which exhibit intelligent behavior. They are particularly useful for developing programs which can learn from experience, i.e., which can demonstrate adaptive behavior. In this brief introduction to the subject the concept of the production system is defined, and simple examples of production systems are presented. Current applications of production system technology are also discussed. (Author)
