Abstract

This paper is intended to serve as part of the context in which the other papers in this special issue should be read. Its main goal is to revisit the basic definition of the configuration task, on which many people depend, to show some of its flaws, and to point out how it shapes thinking about the problem. We are concerned about characterizing the reasoning processes used to produce a configuration.
