I am looking at the relationship between KBS generic tasks and the tools
appropriate to them. The way I am approaching this is to examine what AI
techniques might be related to a generic task and then to look at what
tool features might support each technique.

But what AI techniques are there? Well, this is the point of this
posting - can anyone help me in compiling a list of techniques? I am
especially interested in implementation-independent techniques:
  E.G. Goal directed problem-solving
and less so in more implementation-dependent ones:
  E.G. Backward chaining (a way of implementing goal-directed
problem-solving - according to me!)

So please tell me about your favourite techniques - if possible with some
indication of how implementation-independent you think they are.
