Hi,
I have just come up with a new word in computer science domain: Algorithize, definition of it is given in the following blog post:
http://abstractpatterns.blogspot.sg/2014/03/algorithize.html
I repeat the definition here for convenience. You are welcome to refine the definition to make the meaning clearer (with more suitable choice of words to describe it). I am really surprised that this word has not been invented as of 2014!
Algorithize (verb): The act of converting a rather ad-hoc and manual process conducted with implicit constraints, assumptions and rules (otherwise known as intuition or common sense) into a systematic one with clear and unambiguous rules at every stage such that it can be performed by a robot (or computer), in a repeatable fashion, to produce same or better effects (subject to a certain objective function).
Algorithized (adj): A manual process made algorithmic e.g. algorithized data analysis process
Algorithization (noun): The process of algorithizing a manual/ad-hoc process
