integrating Marker Passing and Problem Solving: A Spreading Activation Approach To Improved Choice in Planning

by James A. Hendler and James A Hendler

Book Overview

A recent area of interest in the Artificial Intelligence community has been the application of massively parallel algorithms to enhance the choice mechanism in traditional AI problems. This volume provides a detailed description of how marker-passing -- a parallel, non-deductive, spreading activation algorithm -- is a powerful approach to refining the choice mechanisms in an AI problem-solving system.
