The paper describes the design and implementation of an interactive system for attacking a wide class of discrete optimisation problems. Features requiring consideration in such a system are the interface with the human, the requirements from the operating system, and the variety of heuristics techniques that must be provided. Some details are given of interactive facilities for limiting the amount of computation expended in a backtracking approach for a ‘branch-and-bound’ search.

Received August 1972.
