Abstract
A system for controlling and monitoring a process performed by one or more actors characterized by roles, is provided. The process is associated with a complex object, e.g. a document, in which constituent objects, e.g. chapters, can be distinguished. The system defines and stores models of the complex object and of the process, wherein the process includes actions. The system creates action-object combinations for linking roles to actions, for establishing whether an action-object combination is ready to be executed, and makes executable action-object combinations available to actors with the appropriate role. The system models the complex object in a hierarchical multi-layered tree structure of constituent objects, in which parent objects have children in a lower layer. A programmable processing device comprises one or more of the components of the system. A computer program, when run on a computer, turns the computer into such a programmable processing device.

means for defining and storing a model of the complex object;
means for defining and storing an abstract model of the process, wherein the process includes actions;
means for creating action-object combinations;
means for linking roles to actions;
means for establishing whether an action-object combination is ready to be executed; and means for making executable action-object combinations available to the actors with an appropriate role, wherein the complex object is modeled in a hierarchical mufti-layered tree structure of constituent objects in which parent objects have children in a lower layer.
means for defining and storing a model of the complex object;
means for defining and storing an abstract model of the process, wherein the process includes actions;
means for creating action-object combinations;
means for linking roles to actions;
means for establishing whether an action-object combination is ready to be executed; and means for making executable action-object combinations available to the actors with an appropriate role, wherein the complex object is modeled in a hierarchical mufti-layered tree structure of constituent objects in which parent objects have children in a lower layer.
2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the complex object and its constituent objects have attributes, and the system further comprises means for automatically changing the attributes of all child and parent objects of an object, when an attribute of the object affecting the attributes of the child and parent objects is changed in an action performed on the object.
3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the complex object and its constituent objects have an object type, and the means for defining the abstract model of the process comprises means for associating an object type with an action.
4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the means for creating the action-object combinations automatically establishes a link between the complex object or one of its constituent objects, and an action, according to the type of the object.
5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the means for establishing whether the action-object combination is ready to be executed, checks whether no actions are currently being performed on the object or any object from which it is descended or that descends from it.
6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the means for establishing whether the action-object combination is ready to be executed, checks whether values for attributes of the object are all appropriate to the action.
7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the process comprises actions that result in a pre-defined modification of one or more attributes of the object on which the action is performed.
8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the process comprises actions that result in one of a number of possible modifications to one or more attributes of the object on which the action is performed.
9. A programmable processing device comprising one or more of the components of the system of claim 1.
10. A method for controlling and monitoring a process performed by one or more actors defined by roles, wherein the process is associated with a complex object in which constituent objects can be distinguished, and wherein the method comprises:
defining and storing a model of the complex object;
defining and storing an abstract model of the process, wherein the process includes actions;
creating action-object combinations;
linking roles to actions;
establishing whether an action-object combination is ready to be executed;
and making executable action-object combinations available to the actors with an appropriate role, wherein the complex object is modeled in a hierarchical multi-layered tree structure of constituent objects in which parent objects have children in a lower layer.
defining and storing a model of the complex object;
defining and storing an abstract model of the process, wherein the process includes actions;
creating action-object combinations;

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the complex object and its constituent objects have attributes, and the method further comprises automatically changing the attributes of all child and parent objects of an object, when an attribute of the object affecting the attributes of the child and parent objects is changed in an action performed on the object.
12. The method according to claim 10, wherein the complex object and its constituent objects have an object type, and the step of defining the abstract model of the process comprises the step of associating an object type with an action.
13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the step of creating the action-object combinations automatically establishes a link between the complex object or one of its constituent objects, and an action, according to the type of the object.
14. The method according to claim 10, wherein the step of establishing whether the action-object combination is ready to be executed, checks whether no actions are currently being performed on the object or any object from which it is descended or that descends from it.
15. The method according to claim 10, wherein the step of establishing whether the action-object combination is ready to be executed, checks whether values for attributes of the object are all appropriate to the action.
16. The method according to claim 10, wherein the process comprises actions that result in a pre-defined modification of one or more attributes of the object on which the action is performed.
17. The method according to claim 10, wherein the process comprises actions that result in one of a number of possible modifications to one or more attributes of the object on which the action is performed.
