Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to state awareness of a non-live object, and provide a method, system and computer program product for lifecycle model instance objectification of a non-activity object in an activity thread. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for lifecycle model instance objectification of non-activity objects in an activity thread can be provided. The method can include rendering an activity thread within an activity map for an activity-centric collaborative tool, creating an instance of a lifecycle model, and objectifying a non-activity object in the activity thread with the lifecycle model instance. Additionally, a status decorator can be displayed for the lifecycle model instance in association with the non-activity object in the activity map.
