It considers questions such as how to represent dependencies between sensor data and output data in such a system.It also approaches the question of how to specify whether actions should be executed in parallel or in sequence. The paper gives a concrete example of how to specify the control of a specific mechanical system. It also comments briefly on the actual implementation and future extensions.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-87-06}
