<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable workflows to cooperate with the arbitrary number of other workflows as necessary for every workflow without preliminarily describing cooperation in defining the workflows. <P>SOLUTION: A connection point storage part 117 stores connection points. The connection point is information for making individual workflows cooperate with each other including connection origin information and connection destination information. The connection origin is defined as a workflow or activity or the like, and the connection destination is defined as activity or workflow definition or the like. For example, a user starts a certain workflow, and when recognizing that it is necessary to cooperate with another workflow, the user defines the connection point through a connection point management part 118. When the connection point as the connection origin information exists in ending the performance of the workflows and activity, an performance control part 111 ends the activity of the workflow shown by the connection destination information of the connection point, or starts the workflow definition shown by the connection destination information of the connection point. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
