A computer system enables a user to conveniently fill-out, configure, and submit a structure of interrelated data fields, where the order and type of linking between the fields is user selected. A graphical user interface presents a field template having one or more data fields. The user may extend the electronic form by selecting an expand form field; in response to selection of the expand field, the user interface adds a second field template and a connective field to the display. This second template, like the first, includes one or more data fields. Using a connective field, the user identifies a logical relationship between the first field template and the second field template. For instance, the user may select from Boolean or other connective terms to construct a form having a complex format of interrelated fields. As each new field template is added with its corresponding connective field, the user interface also presents a nesting icon, allowing the user to establish a logical hierarchy between the various field templates.

A processing device generates a relationship view of managed entities in a storage area network based on objects stored in a relational database. Each managed entity (e.g., file system, database, volume, storage device, etc.) in the storage area network has a corresponding managed object stored in the relational database. Generally, managed objects of a particular type are categorized into one or more tables. Such tables are related to one another by foreign key attributes, which represent relationships between types of managed objects (and thus a relationship between corresponding managed entities). Relationships among the managed objects in the relational database may be generally classified as either association or containment. Association identifies a logical relationship between managed objects. Containment identifies groups of managed objects that are logically associated with each other. The processing device uses these identified relationships to generate the appropriate relationship view for a selected managed entity.

The disclosed process control system makes use of Optimal control (OC) and model predictive control (MPC) techniques for selection of the Expert Systems (ES) targets values U. The ES target values U are selected to minimize the performance criterion J. A mathematical model of an extended system given by the process P and the ES is developed. This hybrid mathematical model has both continuous dynamics and logical relationships. Controlled variables of the mathematical model are the ES target values U and inputs are the measurements y and the performance criterion J. The OC and / or MPC techniques are used to compute values U. An optimizer of the OC / MPC selects values of the ES target values U only. This activity has lower sampling rates than selection of controller values, which simplifies the design of the OC / MPC controller.

A register transfer level (RTL) IC design describing a IC as comprising a plurality of logic blocks communicating via signals and using a high level language to describe the logic blocks according to the logical relationships between signals they receive and signals they generate. A computer-aided synthesizer processes an RTL IC design to produce a gate level design for the IC describing its logic blocks as comprising instances of cells communicating via signals. A synthesizer or emulator processes the gate level design to produce a gate level dump file referencing signals of the gate level design and indicating how those signals behave in response to time-varying signals supplied as inputs to the IC. The gate level dump file is converted into an RTL dump file referencing signals of the RTL design and indicating how those signals behave. A debugger processes the RTL dump file to produce displays depicting the RTL design and behavior of signals indicated by the RTL dump file. Thus while the IC is simulated or emulated at the gate level of the design to produce waveform data for a debugger, the gate level-to-RTL dump file conversion process enables a designer debug the more familiar RTL design based on the gate level simulation or emulation results.
