Efficient utilization of algorithms through heuristic learning

Published: 01 August 1973 Publication History

Abstract

In the study of problem solving methods, problems have been classified into two broad categories:Structured Problems - for which it is possible to formulate one or more algorithms to find a solution of the problem.Ill-Structured Problems - in which, finding a solution is only possible through the application of a set of general rules and strategies.
