This invention concerns a problem modelling tool for building a model of a problem that involves a plurality of variables, whereby a heuristic search method can be carried out to optimise a solution for the modelled problem, and wherein the model of a problem comprises a plurality of expressions defined as corresponding one or more declarative statements and at least some of the expressions are dependent on at least one of said variables. In embodiments of the invention, the problem modelling tool includes means for automatically updating the, or each, declarative statement in response to changes to the or each variable associated therewith.
