Abstract

According to experience a fixed sequence of processing steps applied to all patterns in a task domain often leads to unsatisfactory results. Therefore, in this chapter we treat the problem of computing a good (or even optimal) processing strategy individually for every pattern; this is called control for short. Some general ideas are presented, but of course, the main emphasis is on control in a semantic network environment omitting techniques which are tailored, for example, to a purely rule-based environment.
