ABSTRACT:
An Objects Evaluation Matrix.TM. is provided which links together "objects" (i.e., areas in computer memory that serve as basic structural units of analysis) to create a complete (or partial) application program. A person can use a computer to graphically place objects into the Object Evaluation Matrix with automatic, semi-automatic, or manual connections among objects. It combines worksheet techniques with object programming techniques and with process control techniques, and creates the links between objects, object properties, and cell properties and presents all pertinent information in a special graphical representation. The main benefit is that very sophisticated process control applications can be created utilizing "drag and drop" techniques which use predefined or custom objects (typically Dynamically Linked Libraries) without any need for recompiling and/or coding. Furthermore, it provides an easy-to-use means of programming and debugging the application/process in a multitasking/multiprocessing environment. It integrates multiple control functions and belongs to the category of "Enhanced Programming Methods." The link between objects and/or properties can be automatic (the internal program creates the most logical links or the default links), manual (all links are specified by the user), or semi-auto (combination of auto and manual).
