# Heuristic Algorithms for Automated Space Planning

Charles M. Eastman

*Proceedings of the Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 27-38.

## Abstract

This paper reviews the major characteristics of existing programs for automatically solving space planning problems. It outlines general features of this class of problem and introduces a set of heuristic decision rules called Constraint Structured Planning, which in preliminary tests have efficientl y solved a variety of problems. Developments allowing even greater efficiencies are also outlined.
