Object base data processing apparatus

Abstract

An object base data processing apparatus executes a desired process by naming, as objects, single processing units and/or composite processing units which include single processing units and combines the objects. A parts attribute file stores the object parts using entity data forming the objects and meta data describing a nature of the objects, methods and/or classes for realizing individual processes, which are information groups in a procedural world, stored as objects. An object management unit communicates with the object parts in the parts attribute file to execute the desired process. A class schema describes a method name for at least one method entered in the class by combining at least one of the methods into the class. An instance schema generates an instance linked to a method specified by the class schema. The object parts correspond to the composite processing unit linking the methods described in the class schema and contents of the instance schema. The desired process is given by a static model, specifying an existence of class groups and/or the method groups and mutual relationships of the class groups and/or the method groups; and a dynamic model specifying an existence of instance groups and time sequential relationships of the instance groups. Progress of a process of the instance in the dynamic model is executed by collation with cause and effect relationships among the classes in the static model.
