Abstract
Non-deterministic LISP can be used to describe a search problem without specifying the method used to solve the problem. We show that SCHEMER, a non-deterministic dialect of SCHEME, can support dependency-directed backtracking as well as chronological backtracking. Full code for a working SCHEMER interpreter that provides dependency-directed backtracking is included.
