More Information
Summary:A business process software application (5) is arranged to perform a composite business process (10) which includes a number of business function components (20, 30), each of which is executable in order to provide a business software function. The business process application uses a temporal layout manager (40) to instantiate an executor (50, 60) for managing the execution of the business function components, such that the business function components (20, 30) are executed in an order defined by a user via the temporal layout manager (40) in order to perform the composite business process (10). In this way complex event handling for the coordination of the business function components is achieved by a simplified user interface for the selection of those activities.
