Original Abstract Submitted
To configure a machine controller by an action execution tree, predefined action patterns are read in. A multiplicity of action execution trees for a machine to be controlled is also generated. For a respectively generated action execution tree, a performance for controlling the machine based on the respective action execution tree is determined. The predefined action patterns are also sought in the respective action execution tree. An action pattern found in the respective action execution tree is then replaced at least in part by a reference to the predefined action pattern. A tree size of the thus modified action execution tree is furthermore determined. Based on the generated action execution trees, a numerical optimization method is then used to determine an action execution tree that is optimized with regard to better performance and smaller tree size, and this is output in order to configure the machine controller.
