ABSTRACT:
Performance level selection is carried out by calculating a plurality of performance requests using a plurality of performance request calculating algorithms, combining those different performance requests to form a global performance request and then selecting a performance level in dependence upon the global performance level request. The performance request calculating algorithms can be arranged in a hierarchy with their performance requests evaluated in a sequence starting from the least dominant position in the hierarchy and moving through to the most dominant position in the hierarchy. Commands may accompany each performance level request to specify how it should be combined with other performance level requests.
