Analaytical techniques: Use a mathematical formula to derive an optimal solution directly or to predict a certain result. Used primarily for solving structured problems, usually of a tactical or operational nature. areas such as resources allocation, inventory mgt
Algorithms: Step-by-step process for obtaining an optimal solution. Solutions generated and tested for possible improvements. The process continues until no further improvment is possible.
Blind Searching: In conducting a search, a description of a desired outcome may be given. This is called a goal. A set of possible steps leading from the initial consitions to the goal is called the search steps. Problem solving is odne by searching through possible solutions.
Heuristic Searching: Via knowledge, common sense, rule of thumb. Heuristics are the informal, judgemental kowl,edge of an application area that constitute the rules of good judgement in the feild. Domain KNowledge.
