@TECHREPORT{AICPub1471:1970, AUTHOR={Nilsson, Nils J.}, TITLE={A Survey of the Literature on Problem-Solving Methods in Artificial Intelligence}, ADDRESS={333 Ravenswood Ave, Menlo Park, CA 94025}, INSTITUTION={AI Center, SRI International}, MONTH={Feb}, NUMBER={21}, YEAR={1970}, KEYWORDS={Problem Solving, Artificial Intelligence}, ABSTRACT={Problem-solving methods using some sort of heuristically guided search process have been the subject of much research in Artificial Intelligence. This paper groups these problem-solving methods under three major headings: the State-Space Approach, the Problem-Reduction Approach, and the Formal-Logic Approach. Using this framework, a survey is presented of most of the important articles and books dealing with problem solving, game playing, and automatic theorem proving. The bibliography contains over 150 references.}, NOTE={SRI Project 7024. This research was supported by the Office of Naval Research, Washington, D.C., under Contract N0014-68-C-266.} }
