Abstract
Abstract A new and useful computer system facilitates simplification of computer programs establishing a dedicated computer system adapted to a specific task, and makes it easy to program and to modify already established programs. The simple and easy method for establishing an application adapted dedicated computer system, operable on a plurality of data items for performing a plurality of functional processes for the data items, comprises the steps of establishing a plurality of program segments, each of to is exclusively assigned for one of the data items and has process content exclusively corresponding to one of the functional processes, and establishing a governing program for establishing systematic interrelationships between the program segments for performing a sequence of processes adapted to the dedicated application.
