A method for designing industrial plant control and REGULATION strategies, comprising the steps of: decomposing a process to be controlled into a plurality of modules which contain a process partition and corresponding control functions; defining a hierarchical tree structure in which each node is constituted by one of the plurality of modules, the hierarchical relationship between the modules being defined by arcs which mutually connect the nodes; defining connecting terminals adapted for the exchange of control and/or process parameters and variables among the modules.
