Heuristic synthesis from examples involves more or less heavy use of heuristics in order to prune the search space. 

Heuristic synthesis from examples is performed by the systems of [Hardy 75], [Shaw et al. 75], [Siklossy and Sykes 75], and [Biggerstaff 84], in the sense that they fill in the place-holders of a LISP divide-and-conquer schema (see Chapter 8) in a plausible way according to the given examples.
