      The authors describe an algorithm based on the well known sweep-plane technique [\textit{H. Hadwiger}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 194, 101-110 (1955; Zbl 0064.166)] for computing the volume of finite dimensional bounded polyhedra. The computer program of the algorithm is given in APL. They also record computational experience on three problems.
