X Abstract

1 Introduction: the problem Configuration design1 is a form of design where a set of pre-defined components is given and an assembly of selected components is sought that satisfies a set of requirements and obeys a set of constraints [13,17]. Sometimes an optimality criterion may be given that defines an ordering upon possible solutions. A typical example of a configuration problem is the design of elevators from a set of parameterized components given a number of initial value specifications as requirements. This problem, initially studied by Marcus [9] and known as the VT problem, has been the subject of an extensive experiment conducted by the Knowledge Engineering community in order to compare different methods to solve the problem (“The Sisyphus-II VT Initiative”, see [15] and the side bar).
