Abstract

In the following lines we shall adduce new elements to a controversy which lies at the heart of curr e nt discussions about programming activities. The question is: must we write specific programs or general systems ?We shall contrast the two approaches to this methodological problem by me ans of a case in point. Their respective interest will be compared andasurprising conclusion will eventually be reached which is crucial to the core of AI and justifies many researches in the field : efficiency can only · be attained trough generality.
