CONT

procédure sous-optimale

OBS

Notion introduite en 1959 par Hebert Simon pour décrire les choix décisionnels qui ne visent pas la maximisation ou l'optimisation complète et rationnelle des résultats. Aujourd'hui, les nuances entre "sous-optimal" et "quasi-optimal" sont stylistiques plus que sémantiques. Mais cet adjectif a servi de base dérivationnelle à des formations telles "sous-optimiser" et sous-optimisation".
