A Reflective Production System

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence, Cybernetics, Production Describes the ELEKTRA reflective production rule interpreter, which differs from other interpreters by providing considerable support for meta‐level inference and reflection. Also describes the representations employed in the system, in which the control problem in production systems can be solved by increasing use of rules. Introduces the reflective properties of the system and gives examples. Shows that the interpreter on which the entire ELEKTRA system runs can be implemented as ELEKTRA rules.
