# A Gobal View of Automatic Programming

*Proceedings of the Third International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 494-498.

## Abstract

This paper presents a framework for characterizing automatic programming systems .In terms o.f how a task Is communicated to the system, the method and time at which the system acquires the knowledge to perform the task, and the characteristics of the resulting program to perform that task. It describes one approach In which both tasks and knowledge about the task domain are stated In natural language In the terms of that domain. All knowledge of computer science necessary to Implement the task Is internalized Inside the system.
