A philosophy of 'wicked' problem implementation
Derek Partridge · 1978
An important characteristic of intelligence is the ability to deal adequately with 'wicked' or ill-structured problems. A methodology is proposed for the computer implementation of certain classes of 'wicked' problems. Curiously, this methodology contrasts sharply with the current artificial intelligence paradigm: a rationalization of this disparity is given. Lastly, the programming methodologies of software engineering appear to be most closely akin to the current inquiry, and this contention is examined.
