Ben, It's hard to resist my interpretation here - that Pei does sound as if he is being truly non-algorithmic. Just look at the opening abstract sentences. (However, I have no wish to be pedantic - I'll accept whatever you guys say you mean).
"Case-by-case Problem Solving is an approach in which the system solves the current occurrence of a problem instance by taking the available knowledge into consideration, under the restriction of available resources. It is different from the traditional Algorithmic Problem Solving in which the system applies a given algorithm to each problem instance. Case-by-case Problem Solving is suitable for situations where the system has no applicable algorithm for a problem" ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
