ABSTRACT:
A method for designing and performing a process, the method including: (a) generating a definition of the process, the generating step including: (i) defining an output of the process; and (ii) defining a plurality of activities forming at least one sequence of activities which lead to the output, including defining complete information which includes, for each of the plurality of activities: input information, including a source thereof, and output information, including a destination thereof; and (b) carrying out the process at least partly in accordance with the definition of the process.
Apparatus for designing the process is also disclosed.
