Program flow monitoring and control of an event-triggered system

A method comprising:

• generating a representation of a program, the representation including a plurality of nodes in an order, each node of the plurality of nodes associated with a task within the program;
• transmitting a node-originating trigger between a first node of the plurality of nodes and a second node of the plurality of nodes subsequent the first node in the order, the node-originating trigger indicating to the second node that an event-based condition has been met, the event-based condition including completion of a respective task of the first node;
• and
• based at least in part on the respective task having been completed, transmitting an event report to a manager monitoring execution of the plurality of nodes within the program.

A method comprising:

• receiving sensor data generated by one or more sensors of a vehicle;
• applying the sensor data to a program configured to generate an output using the sensor data;
• executing the program to generate the output, at least in part, by:
• generating an ordered representation of the program across a plurality of nodes, each associated with a respective task within the program;
• executing a first task associated with a first node of the plurality of nodes;
• responsive to the executing the first task, transmitting an event report to a manager monitoring the execution of the program and a node-originating trigger to a second node of the plurality of nodes subsequent the first node according to the ordered representation;
• based at least in part on a condition being met, transmitting, by the manager, a manager-originating trigger to the second node;
• and
• based at least in part on receiving both the node-originating trigger and the manager-originating trigger, executing a second task associated with the second node;
• and
• performing one or more operations by the vehicle based at least in part on the output of the program.
