Relationship among tasks, methods, algorithms and iterations

When a task is accomplished by a task-decomposition method (TDM), this implies that the method performs several steps in a particular order, i.e. the method has an algorithm associated with it. An algorithm, in turn, consists of interconnected tasks (these are the subtasks of the original, higher-level task) and iterations. An iteration specifies repetition of a sequence of tasks (or other, nested iterations); this sequence is, again, represented by an algorithm.
