1. A method for automatically obtaining an operational sequence of processes that determine an output value from at least one input value, with the following steps: a multitude of processes whose inputs are provided with at least one of the attributes “input value of the same calculation cycle”, “input value of the preceding calculation cycle”, “input value from any calculation cycle” are arranged in such a way that a process which has no input with the attribute “input value of the same calculation cycle” is determined as the first process of a calculation cycle, the found sequence of the processes is output.
