The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT.
Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material.
We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026, but intermittent service interruptions may occur.
Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu with any questions.
Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

| dc.description.abstract | In this paper, an intelligent database management system (DBMS) called IDEME is presented. IDEME is a program that takes as input a task specification and finds a set of methods potentially relevant to solving that task. It does so by matching the task specification to the methods in its database at multiple levels of abstraction. After isolating potentially useful methods, IDEME ranks them by how relevant they might be to the task. From the most relevant method, it checks if its operational demands, i.e. those conditions that have to be satisfied for the method to be applicable, are satisfied by the present task. If so, it presents the algorithm of the method relativized to the present task; otherwise, it goes on to the next method. In this paper, the focus will be on the representation scheme that is used by IDEME to represent methods as well as tasks. | en |
