DESCRIPTION:We present a method for constructing good designs for computer
  experiments. The method derives its power from its basic structure that b
 uilds large designs using small designs. We specialize the method for the 
 construction of orthogonal Latin hypercubes and obtain many results along 
 the way. In terms of run sizes\, the existence problem of orthogonal Latin
  hypercubes is completely solved. We also present an explicit result showi
 ng that how large orthogonal Latin hypercubes can be constructed using sma
 ll orthogonal Latin hypercubes. Another appealing feature of our method is
  that it can easily be adapted to construct other designs. We examine how 
 to make use of the method to construct nearly orthogonal Latin hypercubes.
