Popis: This paper demonstrates how the Domain-Independent Design System (DIDS) was used to solve the Sisyphus room-assignment problem by viewing it as a configuration-design task. We have developed a general problem-solving method for configuration design, based on constraint-satisfaction techniques. This method efficiently solves the Sisyphus problem, and provides strong guidance for knowledge acquisition. This paper presents both the problem solver and knowledge-acquisition support created by DIDS to solve the Sisyphus problem.
