[comp.ai] Refs sought for: Model Based Reasoning / Prototype Redesign

jpmg@eng.cam.ac.uk (Patrick Gosling) (04/05/91)

REFERENCES WANTED ON THE FOLLOWING AI TECHNIQUES:

MODEL BASED REASONING (particularly for fault-finding)
PROTOTYPE REDESIGN (strategy for design)

I am looking for 'good' refs on either of these two subjects - ie ones
that are regarded as seminal in the area, provide better-than-average
examples of their application or are good overviews of the technique.

Does anyone please have a favorite reference to either of these two AI
techniques. If so, please could you let me know what they are.

What references I have are very specific to my own
application area and I may be missing some gems (I hope).

Please reply to holden@eng.cam.ac.uk

Thanks

Tony Holden
