Title: Cumulative Subgoal Fulfillment: A New Approach to Developing Software
Speaker: Eric Braude, Boston University, Metropolitan College
Abstract: This talk will show how a few principles of physical construction, so self-evident that they are usually unremarked, can be very useful for software construction. This talk will show how the result, formulated as Cumulative Subgoal Fulfillment, applies to classic computer science examples, to Naur’s well-known but error-prone text formatting problem, to a video game, to mashups, and to linear programming.
