The language design is focused on making the computer transparent in the task of programming a manufacturing cell, thus making it easier for nonprogrammers to instruct the cell. The language is graphical, and is a hybrid between a traditional and a rule-based language. The conflict resolution problem is dealt with by defining possible amalgamations of rules, a process supported by presentational views in the editor.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-91-09}, NOTE = {Accepted to the 4th Conference on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, Hawaii, June 2-5, 1991}
