Abstract
In this paper we discuss a general purpose knowledge-based system that can solve problems mostly autonomously. We need to know a general method of problem solving for the purpose which is free from any specific condition coming from each specific domain. Most problems are dependent on each problem domain and therefore specific knowledge must be used to solve the problems. Thus, the common part of problem solving should be separated from the domain specific part and a framework should be created that is common to all problem domains but which works specifically by the given domain specific knowledge. It is generally known that this is the purpose of ordinary expert systems; however, the authors assert that these systems are not powerful enough to solve any problem given to the systems unintentionally. In particular, these systems are not suited for supporting creative works such as design.
