General Problem Solver

Newell & Simon 1957 RAND Corp/Carnegie Mellon University

Based on Logical Theorist. Written in and oputputs to ILP-V

A production system that recorded behavior as a function of memory operations, control processes and rule sets.

These were used to make a simulation, and the results then compared with the behaviour of competent people
