Abstract
A model for an application program is displayed. The model includes an input interface, an output interface, and a plurality of variables. Addition of a new variable and placement of an annotation on the display unit for the new variable is detected. The annotation identifies the new variable as an individually definable object or an identification key. The identification key identifies an individual situation and the individually definable object copes with the individual situation. A new model with a new input interface and a new output interface is generated based, at least in part, on the annotation identifying the new variable as an individually definable object or an identification key.
