Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer based method for artificial intelligence with sufficient flexibility for permitting the program to be configured or adapted to different circumstances. The computer based method is provided with a simplified language which permits certain tasks to be done in a preselected sequence as determined by the user. All the tasks and the time at which they will be accomplished are set out in a job display indicating the day, the start time, the end time, the length of interval and when the next one will be accomplished. Errors, when found, are flagged and error correction strings are utilized to automatically correct the error so that the computer can move to the next job. Recordation of the job monitored and any errors found can be made in any convenient data base, including a printer, a voice signal or simply the display. This system permits the more mundane monitoring tasks to be accomplished by computer based method alerting the personnel only when needed.
