Abstract
Production systems designed to function and grow in environments that make large numbers of different, sometimes competing, and sometimes unexpected demands require support from their interpreters that is qualitatively different from the support required by systems that can be carefully hand crafted to function in constrained environments. In this paper we explore the role of conflict resolution in providing such support. Using criteria developed in the paper, we evaluate both individual conflict resolution rules and strategies that make use of several rules.

An Overview of Production Systems
427 Citations1975Randall Davis, Jonathan J. King
This paper is an attempt to provide an analysis and overview of recurrent themes in production systems, as well as a conceptual framework by which many of the seemingly disparate efforts can be viewed, both in relation to each other, and to other methodologies.
Focus of Attention in the Hearsay-II Speech Understanding System
114 Citations1977Frederick Hayes‐Roth, Victor Lesser
This general focusing mechanism facilitates the experimental evaluation of a variety of specific attentional control policies and allows the modular addition of specialized heuristics for the speech understanding task.
Adaptive Production Systems
61 Citations1974D. A. Waterman
It is shown that with the appropriate production building mechanism, all three tasks can be solved using similar adaptive production system learning techniques.

This chapter describes a production system for EPAM, featuring the automatic addition of productions by the basic system to represent incremental learning of three-letter nonsense syllables.
