Abstract

The subject innovation provides for systems and methods that facilitate locating components of a unified plant model at runtime (e.g., specifying a search criteria), via a message engine that searches for modules/applications dynamically at run time. When a control module in a program needs to find another control module, a search can be performed by specifying a criteria and performing a search in the controller, via the message engine.
