A graph-theoretical approach is presented for configuration processing which uses similar concepts to set-theoretical and formax algebraic methods, with the difference that it avoids the use of unnecessary terminology, and employs only the most elmentary definitions and concepts of the graph theory. Examples are included to illustrate the simplicity of the presented method.
