Environmental Considerations for the PRODIGY Architecture

Several environmental considerations were made in the design of PRODIGY:

There can be too much knowledge to learn.
Learning can be costly.
There must be complete world knowledge.
The world is consistent.
Software Engineering Methods are applicable in PRODIGY domains.

Explanation-Based Learning of control rules allow the application of PRODIGY to a variety of domains with different features. Some of these have included:

Blocksworld
Robot Path Planning
Machine-Shop Planning and Scheduling
STRIPS domain
Matrix Algebra Manipulation
Process Planning
Computer Configuration
Logistics Planning
