A computer operated controller for controlling and/or monitoring a physical object and a logical abstraction related to the physical object is disclosed. The controller comprises a physical object entity representing the physical object. The physical object entity includes storage for physical-object-specific data and a script describing the behavior of the physical object. The controller further comprises a logical abstraction entity representing the logical abstraction. The logical abstraction entity further includes storage for logical-abstraction-specific data and a script describing the behavior of the logical abstraction.

A computer operated controller for controlling and/or monitoring a plurality of physical objects and a plurality of logical abstractions related to said physical objects in order to perform steps of a process in an overall system, comprising: a plurality of physical object entities respectively representing corresponding ones of said plurality of physical objects, each physical object entity being a separate programming object including data specific to its corresponding physical object and a script describing a specific behavior of and being dependent upon a specific state of said corresponding physical object in performing a step of the process in the overall system; a plurality of logical abstraction entities respectively representing corresponding ones of said plurality of logical abstractions, each logical abstraction entity being a separate programming object including data specific to its corresponding logical abstraction and a script describing the behavior of said corresponding logical abstraction for controlling and/or monitoring the performance of a step by a physical object in the process in the overall system but being independent of the specific state of any specific physical object; and entity activity control means, including an executable computer program of said controller and exchanging of messages among said logical abstraction entities and said physical object entities, for controlling the execution of the respective scripts of said physical object entities and said logical abstraction entities to perform the steps of the process in the overall system.
