    No full text
    Dopo un breve richiamo al concetto di algoritmo e alla sua essenza indissolubilmente legata all’esecuzione mediante uno strumento automatico ne investighiamo non solo la potenza ma anche i limiti in termini dei problemi che attraverso questo strumento possono essere affrontati e risolti. Potenza e limiti del calcolo automatico hanno un fondamentale impatto sia in termini pratici sulla nostra attività quotidiana sia sulla natura stessa del pensiero umano

Despite many success stories confirmed their effectiveness, there is still much reluctance (not only) in the industrial world to apply them on a large scale. In this paper I add my modest personal view to the rich and long- standing debate on the reasons of this apparent failure; I examine the main challenges to face and the most promising symptoms to hope into an improved state of the affairs
