VFSM Execution Model
A subset of all defined input names, which can exist only in a certain situation, is called virtual input (VI). For instance temperature can be either "too low", "good" or "too high". Although there are three input names defined, only one of them can exist in a real situation. This one builds the VI.
A subset of all defined output names, which can exist only in a certain situation is called virtual output (VO). VO is built by the current action(s) of the VFSM.
The behaviour specification is built by a state table which describes all details of a single state of the VFSM.
The VFSM executor is triggered by VI and the current state of the VFSM. In consideration of the behaviour specification of the current state, the VO is set.
Figure 2 shows one possible implementation of a VFSM executor. Based on this implementation a typical behaviour characteristics must be considered.

Famous quotes containing the words execution and/or model:
“I herewith commission you to carry out all preparations with regard to ... a total solution of the Jewish question in those territories of Europe which are under German influence.... I furthermore charge you to submit to me as soon as possible a draft showing the ... measures already taken for the execution of the intended final solution of the Jewish question.”
—Hermann Goering (1893–1946)
“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
