Vehicle assembly control system and method for composing or decomposing a task

A controller for decomposing a task to be performed by at least one vehicle assembly, the controller configured to:

• decompose with rules and at least partially, a higher-order information layer relating to the task to form a lower-order information layer, the lower-order information layer relating to at least one subtask of the task.

A method for composing a task to be performed by at least one vehicle assembly, the method including the steps of:

• composing, with a computational device, a higher order information layer relating to the task;
• and
• forming one or more rules for at least partially decomposing the higher-order information to form a lower-order information layer, the lower-order information layer relating to at least one subtask of the task.

A computational device for composing a task to be performed by at least one vehicle assembly, the computational device configured to:

• compose a higher order information layer relating to the task;
• and
• form one or more rules for at least partially decomposing the higher-order information to form a lower-order information layer, the lower-order information layer relating to at least one subtask of the task.
