Not a batch language; A control language!

The dream of much Batch Control standardization has been the development of a common Batch language. In practice, Batch languages are superposed on collections of archaic control data bases and diagrammatic representations. A common Control Language could integrate all aspects of control. Such a language could capture the insights of continuous, logical and batch control together, and still be measured against the various standardized Batch Models or diagrams. The illustrated language is based on a number of ideas previously presented in individual papers: SuperVariables, Idioms, Bracket Sequencing Control Structures, and Theme Statements. As these ideas come together, they bring together the two main streams of Fluid Process Control.
