· INVENTION: Vector State Machine (VSM) based on Coherent Object System Architecture (COSA)
· COSA is architected to reduce the complexities of software. COSA allows the user to produce specifications – requirements, process model, data model, object model, project management, application management, AND the manufacture of executable code in the same simple paradigm. The COSA approach can replace over eighty different applications. COSA eliminates spaghetti code and provides exceptional trace capabilities that reduce the costs of debugging because its implementation is in a Vector State Machine.
