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.
