%0 Journal Article %T On Principles of Software Engineering -- Role of the Inductive Inference %A Ladislav Samuelis %J e-Informatica Software Engineering Journal %D 2012 %I Wroclaw University of Technology %X This paper highlights the role of the inductive inference principle in software engineering. It takes the challenge to settle differences and to confront the ideas behind the usual software engineering concepts. We focus on the inductive inference mechanism¡¯s role behind the automatic program construction activities and software evolution. We believe that the revision of rather old ideas in the new context of software engineering could enhance our endeavour and that is why deserves more attention. %U http://www.e-informatyka.pl/attach/e-Informatica_-_Volume_6/eInformatica2012Art6.pdf
