Abstract

We present an approach for studying logical properties of problem-solving methods (PSMs) for knowledge-intensive tasks. It is based on semantic tableaux (a deduction-style theorem-proving technique). We show how tableaux can be manipulated in a methodical way to formalize non-deductive style PSMs.
