Method and system for processing business process, and processing program therefor

A system for processing a business process by a plurality of computers in cooperation with one another, said plurality of computer being capable of intercommunication, said system comprising:

• means for referring to a message including a business process definition to generate input parameters to be passed to a next step as a logical message, and then transmitting the logical message to a computer for executing the next step;
• and
• means for, by said computer, executing the step and also analyzing information included in the business process definition to determine a next step to be executed, generating, as a logical message, an input parameter to be passed to the next step, said input parameter having been generated by the processing of the business-process definition message, and transmitting the logical message to a computer node for executing the next step.

A business-process processing program used for a system for processing a business process by a plurality of computers in cooperation with one another, said plurality of computer being capable of intercommunication, said business-process processing program comprising the functions of:

• referring to a message including a business process definition to generate an input parameter to be passed to a next step as a logical message, and then transmitting the logical message to a computer for executing the next step;
• and
• by said computer, executing the step and also analyzing information included in the business process definition to determine a next step to be executed, subsequently generating, as a logical message, an input parameter to be passed to the next step, said input parameters having been generated by the processing of the business-process definition message, and transmitting the logical message to a computer node for executing the next step.
