It refers to the principle of Occam's razor, noting that a few algorithms held in an easily accessible code library are preferable to a plethora of distinct algorithms which all do the same thing. Although copyright issues and the multiplicity of programming languages ensure a certain degree of multiplicity, it is noted that this may be optimal, as it provides competition and incentive for further improvement. An example involving cryptographic algorithms is provided. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2011 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
