A procedure aimed at solving some type of problems on base of existing data and fixed rules to process them, and ordering the presentation of results.
This is mostly done by using computers, with adequate programming languages.
It should however never be forgotten that programming is a tool at the service of management and planning, which means:
- that it should correctly reflect the goals pursued by the overseers
- that, once the first condition satisfied, it cannot be held responsible for conceptual errors of managers or planners.
