Algorithms are sequences of programming code that by input set x always produce in a consistent manner output set y. Mechanisms do not have this consistent behaviour and one can not tell for an input set x what the output may be. Typically there is a user interaction or something similar involved.
Functions are implemented either by using pre-defined core functionality, which is provided for free, by configuring the core functionality with ADOxx specific configuration or by scripting and add-on implementation. Scripting is supported by an ADOxx own scripting language, whereas add-on implementation can be performed via Web-Services, batch based implementation or via file-based interaction.
