CASAP: A Testbed for Program Flexibility
CASAP at tempts to c rea te a more f l e x i b l e knowledge-based system fo r per forming a c t i o n s . It Is based on the combinat ion of a procedural r e p r e s e n t a t i o n of a c t i o n s , and an In fo rmat ion r e t r i e v a l subsystem used to dynamical ly ob ta i n a l l I n f o rma t i on requ i red to perform an a c t i o n . It Is argued t ha t such a combinat ion eases the s p e c i f i c a t i o n of new ac t i ons and increases t h e i r a b i l i t y to o b t a i n , from a wide v a r i e t y of poss ib le env i ronments, the In fo rmat ion they r e q u i r e .
