A global view of automatic programming

This paper presents a framework for characterizing automatic programming systems in terms of 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.In IJCAI-73: THIRD INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, 20-23 August 1973, Stanford University Stanford, California, pp.494-499
