Abstract:
A method for generating values, comprising:traversing a hierarchical organization of data structures, comprising at least a first data structure at a first hierarchical level, a second data structure at a second hierarchical level lower than the first hierarchical level and a third data structure at a third hierarchical level lower than the second hierarchical level; and allocating a first value generator in accordance with a first value generator specification of the first data structure; applying a third constraint within a third constraint block with a third constraint block identifier, of the third data structure, to the first value generator of the first data structure if the third constraint is denoted as constraining the first value generator; and identifying as not applicable to the first value generator a second constraint within a second contraint block with a second constraint block identifier, of the second data structure, if the second constraint block identifier is determined to satisfy a predetermined relationship with respect to the third constraint block identifier.
