Abstract: Abstract: A new type of reasoning engine for model-based expert system applications is described which employs recent advances in constraint logic programming (CLP), intelligent backtracking (IB) and schema (object-oriented) knowledge representations. Constraint reasoning and logic programming (LP) have been recently joined in the new field of CLP. There is keen research interest and new CLP languages are emerging. IB techniques using reason maintenance systems (RMS) have also been extensively... (Update)

.... resulting from consistency checking and domain reduction in a TMS [7] or ATMS style [6] This has been proposed in CLP by [3] and [9] and developed in [8] in the Concurrent Constraint framework by [4] in the CSP framework by [17, 12] and for Hierarchical CLP in [14]...

...user choices. Unnecessarily undoing user choices has previously been recognized as a problem with standard backtracking algorithms. Havens [6] calls this situation backtracking the user and proposes an algorithm that helps to avoid the problem. This algorithm is described in...
