Abstract
A specification interpreting distributed control system is disclosed which eliminates the need for application programs to distinguish among a wide variety of object models of adjustable transducer parameters. The specification interpreting distributed system enables an application program to configure transducers using specification messages that transport specifications for actions to be performed in the distributed control system in terms of attributes provided by the application program. The task of translating from the specification to particular object models is performed by mechanisms associated with each transducer.
