Abstract

In an operating system (OS) for a multimedia communication center (MMCC) (17), an interactive process module (IPM) (287) for accomplishing a process has a plurality of code sets, each adapted to completion of a specific task (289) in the overall process, an input interface for providing one or more inputs to the IPM (287), and an output function for returning a result (295, 297). The plurality of code sets are related by pre-requisite status, creating a required order of progression for the process, the process is initiated after being called by the OS and receiving required inputs, the IPM (287) is adapted to interface with other OS modules for accessing and providing data, and upon completion of the last task the IPM (287) returns the result (295, 297). In one embodiment the IPM (287) is represented by an interactive GANT chart. In a preferred embodiment a tool kit is provided for a programmer to create such IPMs (287) to perform business processes. IPMs thus created may be displayed and edited as object models.
