A Synthesis of Language Ideas for AI Control Structures (opens in new tab)

A Synthesis of Language Ideas for AI Control Structures Kornfeld, William A. Two well known programming methodologies for artificial intelligence research are compared, the so-called pattern-directed invocation languages and the object-oriented languages. The features and limitations of both approaches are discussed. We show that pattern-directed invocation is a more general formalism, but entails a serious loss of efficiency. We then go on to demonstrate that a language for artificial intell...
