Abstract
In an application cooperation apparatus for supporting configuration/reconfiguration of a business process support system, node class object information defining a logical AP object as an object class for each common process item and attribute and defining an inheritance relationship between object classes as a tree structure is provided to define interactively with a user a logical process model having logical AP objects as business components. Next, by referring to logical-physical object correspondence relationship information, an implementation process model for the logical process model is developed to generate execution control scripts in a definition language of this model.
