Abstract
This paper will discuss the applied artificial intelligence work that is sometimes called “knowledge engineering”. The work is based on computer programs that do symbolic manipulations and symbolic inference, not calculation. The programs I will discuss do essentially no numerical calculation. They discover qualitative lines-of-reasoning leading to solutions to problems stated symbolically.
