Brute force and artificial intelligence
D. B. Schaechter · Journal of Guidance Control and Dynamics · 1988
This paper contains a description of a brute force approach to the AIAA Artificial Intelligence Design Challenge. A systematic approach to solving this general type of problem is presented. This approach consists of first formulating the problem in a higher level language for testing and debugging purposes, and then following this step with a line-by-line translation of the higher level language into assembly code to fully exploit the speed of the computer. The final computer program is about 150 lines of code.
