ABSTRACT. This paper presents the C-Priz knowledge-based programming
environment. Computational problems can be solved automatically by C-Priz
using program synthesis on computational models that can be built from
concepts - pieces of knowledge. The C-Priz language for specifying
computational models (concepts) is described. Dialogue scenarios built on
top of the models merge two kinds of knowledge: concepts and expert
knowledge about their usability. Scenarios provide also a user-friendly
graphical interface for applications. The C-Priz environment toolkit for
editing concepts, scenarios and graphics is described. A small C-Priz
application is discussed.
