Abstract

We describe a theoretical system intended to facilitate the use of knowledge In an understanding system. The notion of script is introduced to account for knowledge about mundane situations. A program, SAM, is capable of using scripts to understand. The notion of plans is introduced to account for general knowledge about novel situations.
