Abstract
This paper is concerned with the design of experiments where the relationship between a response variable of interest and a number of quantitative variables is studied. The observations have to be divided into blocks. Some of the block effects are regarded as random while others as fixed. An algorithmic approach to the construction of such designs is shown to be very successful.
