Process execution system including process network generation unit, process network state management unit, and process network execution unit, data structure, and process execution program

Abstract

A process execution system contains: generating a process network, including a plurality of process nodes, from a process network model that includes a plurality of process master nodes having process generation information and representing relationships between the process nodes generated by the plurality of process master nodes; making a specific process node executable based on the state of the process nodes included in the process network and predetermined process state transition rules; and executing the process defined by the process definition information of the executable process node by sending an execution request for an action, based on the information related to actions included in the process definition information, to an action execution system that executes predetermined actions upon request.
