The Need for Higher-Level Knowledge.... Our current state of knowledge about causal and teleological reasoning is of insufficient depth to permit their inclusion in the expert in a general way. Instead, we summarize the results of such reasoning and use these to make deductions. This new knowledge, unlike the propagator, is circuit-specific... There are two principles we employ to encode this circuit-specific knowledge. First, we impose a strict discipline upon its form, making addition, modification and explanation of higher-level knowledge easier. Second, the propagator and its underlying mechanisms for handling assumptions and fault modes are used as a way of simplifying the deductions that the higher-level knowledge needs to make. 1, record 6, English, - higher%2Dlevel%20knowledge

Les tableurs, les gestionnaires de bases de données et les progiciels hypermedia ne permettaient que de traiter des connaissances de type factuel. Pour favoriser une acquisition durable des connaissances factuelles, il importe d'intégrer ces faits dans un réseau de concepts, de règles, de taxonomies ou de procédures. Or ces connaissances de plus haut niveau ne peuvent être traitées directement par les progiciels classiques.

To become applicable, most didactic strategies must be combined with the constraints provided by the structure of the domain and with the resources provided by the model of expertise. In general, the problem of merging didactic and domain knowledge dynamically-a theme of further work on MENO-TUTOR(Woolf and McDonald, 1984a)-can be quite complex. The resulting articulation is critical to pretting curriculum decisions and explanation generation under the system's control. 1, record 7, English, - domain%20database
