Abstract
A method and arrangements in a computerised system for control operations is disclosed. The computerised is adapted for processing data associated with real world entities based on objects representing the real world entities. In the method at least one formal instance is created, the at least one formal instance containing information regarding instantiation of at least one object. At least one formal instance is associated with one or more formal instances or groups of formal instances based on information of the type of said at least one object or the at least one formal instance.
Claims30
A method in a computerised system adapted for processing data associated with real world entities based on objects representing the real world entities, the method comprising:
- creating at least one formal instance, the at least one formal instance containing information regarding instantiation of at least one object;
- and
- associating the at least one formal instance with one or more formal instances or groups of formal instances based on information of the type of said at least one object or the at least one formal instance.
A method as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the computerised system controls operation of a real world entity based on at least one object representing the entity and instantiated based on information contained in a formal instance.
A method of controlling real world entities by means of a computerised control system based on objects representing the real world entities, the method comprising:
- creating a formal instance, the formal instance containing information regarding instantiation of at least one object;
- placing the formal instance in one or more groups of formal instances, the selected group or groups being indicative of the type of said at least one object;
- initiating instantiation of an object that is required by the control operations, the object being associated with the created formal instance, wherein the step of initiation comprises obtaining information from the formal instance;
- and
- instantiating the object based on said information and also information regarding the group or groups the formal instance is placed in.
A method for instantiation of an object that represents a real world entity, comprising:
- generating a formal instance describing the instantiation of the object;
- placing the formal instance into one or more groups of formal instances based on the type of the object;
- and
- instantiating the object based on information in the formal instance and also on information of the type of the object.
A data processing system comprising:
- a data processor;
- and
- storage means for storing data, at least a part of said data being stored as objects that can be instantiated for use by the data processor,
- wherein the arrangement is such that at least a part of the objects are instantiated based on information contained in associated formal instances and information regarding the type of the object to be instantiated.
A data entity for object oriented data processing that is based on use of a plurality of objects, wherein the data entity contains information regarding instantiation of one or more objects and is included in at least one group of data entities, each group of data entities being indicative of different characteristic features of the objects.
A method in a computerised system adapted for processing data associated with real world entities based on objects representing the real world entities, the method comprising:
- creating at least one formal instance, the at least one formal instance containing information regarding instantiation of at least one object;
- and
- associating the at least one formal instance with one or more formal instances or groups of formal instances based on information of the type of said at least one object or the at least one formal instance;
- and
- controlling by the computerised system operation of a real world entity based on at least one object representing the real world entity and instantiated based on information contained in a formal instance associated with said one or more formal instances or groups of formal instances.
