Abstract
This paper deals with the benefits that interactive use of the computer provides to designers and users of simulation models in planning. After discussing some prominent advantages two examples of interactive models for economic forecasting and goal planning are given. Finally some desirable features of a general planning language in respect to interactivity will be explored.
