Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a UNIX command help system which allows the novice to specify the task he intends by way of samples, infers on the focused initial and the required final states, searches and proposes possible sequences of commands and pipes as operators. The system employs a backward operator search algorithm in which, when an operator is found to satisfy a goal in an intermediate goal set, unsatisfied goals are regressed and excess goals are propagated along the sofar assumed backward state transitions. The algorithm the paper describes demonstrates that backtracking due to conflict test in regression and execss goal propagation contributes to efficiency of search and a goal transformation may be indispensable even for usual situations.
