Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A process during which one seeks a solution that will satisfy a set of constraints. In contrast to optimization, which seeks the best possible solution, when one satisfices, one simply seeks a solution that will work. Most managers, when they seek to solve practical problems, are satisfied with a solution and do not proceed to search for the best possible solution.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La recherche par escalade conduit à une solution non optimale.

OBS

La langue courante possède un adjectif simple pour décrire cette qualité. C'est le mot "passable". La langue technique des revues spécialisées préfère les préfixes savants.
