Abstract

This paper discusses and illustrates the application of Empirical Modelling (EM), as developed by the author and his collaborators, to computer programming. The discussion centres on the perspective EM gives on procedural and experiential vs. declarative and logical approaches to knowledge representation. The illustration focuses on demonstrating the potential for pedagogical use of EM in teaching algorithms. It is based on a family of practical models that have been developed to teach the principles of heapsort.
