Abstract

PRODIGY is a general-purpose problem-solving architecture that serves as a basis for research in planning, machine learning, apprentice-type knowledge-refinement interfaces, and expert systems. This document is a manual for the latest version of the PRODIGY system, PRODIGY4.0, and includes descriptions of the PRODIGY representation language, control structure, user interface, abstraction module, and other features. The tutorial style is meant to provide the reader with the ability to run PRODIGY and make use of all the basic features, as well as gradually learning the more esoteric aspects of PRODIGY4.0.
