The authors present a system, called SAFE (strategy acquisition from experience), which incorporates novel methods for discovering domain-dependent problem-solving heuristics. SAFE is implemented as a sorting system whose sorting strategies are represented as production rules. ... domain-dependent problem-solving heuristics;

Many heuristics are extremely clever, taking great advantage of the particular structure of the problem to be solved (by the way, I make a distinction between problems and instances. A problem is a set of instances.
