“…Whitehead and Eldars (1964), Eilon and Deziel (1966) and Portlock and Whitehead (1970) have been working on it in Great Britain while a sizeable number of American authors have been making contributions (Anderson 1973, Buffa et al 1964, Edwards,& al. 1971, HiUier and Connors 1966, Jansari and Gupta 1969, Johnson 1970, Lee and Moore 1967, Moore 1971, Moore and Mariner 1963, Muther 1961, Ritzman 1972, Seehof and Evans 1967, Spillers and Weidlinger 1970, Stewart et al 1970, Vollmann et al 1968, Ward et al 1970, Wesolowsky and Love 1972.…”

“…People working in the area of business administration (Buffa et al 1963, Love 1969, Ritzman 1972, Vollmann 1968) have also developed some original contributions. Scholars from building science ( K r e j E i 1969, MouEka 1967, Portlock and Whitehead 1970, Whitehead and Eldars 1964 have made some contributions as well as civil engineers (Banna andSpillers 1972, Spillers andWeidlinger 1970). As computer technology has developed, a limited number of authors from computer science (Edwards et d. 1971, Seehof andEvans 1967) and from computer graphics (Banna and Spillers 1972, Teicholz 1968 have become interested in the problem.…”

A wide variety of computer programmes for solving facilities design problems have been developed. Since the arrival of programmes like CORELAP and CRAFT in the early sixties, a variety of aapects of this problem have been approached using computer technology. Engineers and architects appear to be the developers and users of most of these programmes.This paper describes the results of a survey attempting to summarize this activity both in Europe and North America where most of the work is being conducted. Computers are being used for both data reduction and graphics associated with the design of buildings which range from industrial plants to hospitals and schools.It is apparent that computers are being used as design aids although few practitioners are willing to delegate the whole job to a computer a t this time. Both time shared programmes and the more conventionel batch processing are summarized. Heuristics include algorithms which vary in philosophy. The advantages and limitations to construction algorithms, improvement algorithms. vector analysis and graph theory a m discussed. A catalogue of these programmes including sources for further information is included.
