Abstract: Classical artificial intelligence techniques such as expert systems have often been found to be too brittle for large-scale applications. Model-based reasoning is a technique for making artificial intelligence software applicable to problems of realistic size. In this working group, we have investigated some fundamental issues in model-based reasoning and various applications in diagnosis, control and design. This paper reports on the results in basic techniques as well as diagnosis applications obtained at EPFL, ETHZ, Landis & Gyr and Nestlé. The results of the part dealing with design are reported in another paper in this issue, pp. 65–73.
