Abstract
The value of a problem solving program to a person who has a particular problem to solve is related to the ease with which he can state the problem in the program’s input language and the effectiveness of the program’s problem solving methods for finding a solution. In general, the value of a problem solving program can be measured in terms of the range of problems which can be easily stated in its input language and for which its problem solving methods are effective.
