Abstract
A method for determining a target path for a model-based control system. The model-based control system includes a directed acyclic graph, where the directed acyclic graph includes a plurality of vertices interconnected by a plurality of edges. The method includes the steps of performing a depth-first search of the directed acyclic graph for the target path. The depth-first search is operative to return an explicit solution or an implicit solution, wherein the implicit solution is determined using a heuristic. The method further includes determining if the depth-first search returned an explicit solution or an implicit solution, and if the depth-first search returned an implicit solution, constructing the target path from the implicit solution. The method may further include constructing a pattern database.
