On the Conversion of Programs to Decision Tables: Method and Objectives The problems of converting programs to decision tables are investigated. Objectives of these conversions are mainly program debugging and optimization in practice. Extensions to the theory of computation and computability are suggested. CACM August, 1974 Cavouras, J.
