Methods and apparatus for process, factory-floor, environmental, computer aided manufacturing-based or other control system using hierarchically enumerated data set

摘要: The invention provides improved methods and apparatus for workflow editing. Such permit, example, user-defined and/or other tasks to be combined in any combination or combinations specify a workflow. can linked direct, serial processing conditional that includes branching looping. also of definition with extensible actions. provides, further, which utilize variables communication data control information among within still enhanced messaging. yet permit hierarchically enumerated types “plans” collect, e.g., storage, such as the aforementioned hierarchical types.
