description Karlhede & MacCallum [1] gave a procedure for determining the Lie algebra of the isometry group of an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian manifold, which they intended to im- plement using the symbolic manipulation package SHEEP but never did. We have recently finished making this procedure explicit by giving an algorithm suitable for implemen- tation on a computer [2]. Specifically, we have written an algorithm for determining the isometry group of a spacetime (in four dimensions), and partially implemented this algorithm using the symbolic manipulation package CLASSI, which is an extension of SHEEP.
