Specialist Problem Classes
System Specialization and Generalization
- Problems have easily identifiable
characteristics
- ATP systems are specialized wrt problem characteristics
- Specialist Problem Classes (SPCs)
- Problems that are homogeneous wrt ATP systems
- ATP Systems
- Are specialized to SPCs - users would prefer these
- Are specialized out of SPCs - users would avoid these
- May be suited to a range of problem types
Evaluation within SPCs
- Analytical and empirical evidence that the SPCs are appropriate
