Class: process:AsProcess

rdfs:comment " Considered as a ControlConstruct, AsProcess has no components. However, if it is a CompositeProcess it may have a body. " ()
rdfs:comment " AsProcess turns an arbitrary control construct into a "local process" that is called at the point it is defined. One could accomplish (almost) the same thing by replacing any instance of AsProcess by a Perform of a process with the same properties defined for this one use. But AsProcess spares one the trouble, thus allowing one to associate outputs, effects, and even preconditions with an arbitrary subtree of a composite-process definition. (The "almost" above has to do with the fact that the variables of the enclosing process definition may be referred to within an AsProcess; that ThisPerform, used within an AsProcess, refers to the _enclosing_ process; and that an AsProcess may not have explicitly declared participants, because it is meaningless for them to differ from those of ThisPerform.)

rdfs:comment " AsProcess's may be Atomic or Composite, but not Simple; they are used purely as syntactic devices. " ()
