Zusammenfassung:Heuristic programming is an attempt to model human problem solving methods where steps toward the solution are not precisely defined. The mean-ends analysis of a problem in the General Problem Solver of Newell, Simon, and Shaw, as an application of heuristics to the scheduling proglem, is given. A computer program for the scheduling of classes at the U. S. Naval Postgraduate School is described. The method employs Boolean variables and expressions to describe attributes or characteristics of the parameters. Also employed is the principle of backtracking and a heuristic measure of complexity.
