Abstract
A modeling tool for building a model of a problem involves a plurality of variables, whereby a heuristic search method can be carried out to optimize a solution for the modeled problem. The model of a problem includes a plurality of expressions defined as corresponding to one or more declarative statements and at least some of the expressions are dependent on at least one of the variables. The problem modeling tool can include automatically updating each declarative statement in response to changes to each variable associated therewith.
