Creating an explicit flow control in an implicit flow programming environment

Abstract

Creating explicit control flow in an implicit control flow development environment. A set of explicit functions is defined in a library associated with the implicit control flow development environment. Each of the explicit functions in the set is associated with a sequence of implicit functions, such that by calling the explicit function, the sequence of selected implicit functions are called to programmatically perform the task defined by the explicit function. Property types may be designated for the explicit functions, wherein the property types are used by the sequence of implicit functions in performing the task. The explicit functions are exposed to a developer using the implicit flow development environment. The developer selects the desired explicit functions and properties for creation and execution of the application.
