DESCRIPTION:We investigate methods of incorporating known dependencies bet
 ween variables into design selection for computer codes. Adaptations of co
 mputer-generated coverage and spread designs are considered\, with distanc
 e between two input points redefined to include a weight function. The met
 hods can include quantitative and qualitative variables\, and different ty
 pes of prior information. They are particularly appropriate for computer c
 odes where there may be large areas of the design space in which it is not
  scientifically useful or relevant to take an observation. The different a
 pproaches are demonstrated through interrogation of a computer model for a
 tmospheric dispersion.\n
