Abstract. Generic models have received widespread attention in knowledge based systems research (KBS) as an important aid in the process of modeling "problem solving behavior". However, little empirical evidence has been presented which justifies this role. In this article, we analyze some of our experiences with using generic models of problem solving in industrial projects. In these projects, we have relied upon generic models to support the acquisition and modeling process as advocated by current modeling methodologies. Based on these experiences, we argue that there is a real danger that practitioners might be misleaded by inappropriate generic models because current modeling methodologies do not sufficiently address the issues related to selecting, refining and instantiating generic models. To avoid this costly endeavor, we argue that modeling methodologies should emphasize more the nature of the domain, the work that people do, the role of the environment and an active role of the expert. We also emphasize the importance of a tight coupling between the modeling activity and validation. Validation should be carried out with respect to the expert source and the contribution of each model construct towards the intended goal of the models. The paper concludes with remarks on a framework that we call "validation through remodeling" .

“…Roughly, the frame problem is about what aspects of the world have to be included in a sufficiently detailed world model and how such a world model can be kept up-to-date when the world changes. However, the world is constantly changing, intrinsically unpredictable, and infinitely rich (Pfeifer and Rademakers, 1991) and the frame problem has shown to be intractable at least in the general case (e.g., Dreyfus, 2001). Lessons to be learned from investigations of the frame problem suggest that there is little hope that research on context-aware artifacts will succeed in overcoming the problem that contextunderstood as a model of a situation-is always limited.…”

“…Sometimes user judgments are guessed by the system by means of processing user-behaviour-tracking data. If such data is used to update profiles instead of explicit user judgments, the process is referred to as pseudo-relevance feedback or implicit feedback [Pfeifer 1991, Hoyle 1997]. …”
