Synthesis of a complex system from a repertoire of possible components
is a common task in Informatics. For instance,
- complex knowledge bases and databases can be synthesised from
(possibly distributed) components,
- complex courses of actions can be synthesised from individual
operators or stored subplans,
- complex pieces of software can be assembled from individual modules.
The set of components may be fixed or dynamically generated. There
may be issues of search as the number of combinations can be
large. The intelligent selection of candidate components to be
included in a solution may also be an issue. There may be local
constraints (e.g. preconditions matching postconditions) or more
global constraints and preferences on the structure of the solution.
Can we gain by sharing our various goals and solutions for synthesis
problems?
