Abstract

A system and method for selecting appropriate running functional processes within an object-oriented environment, based upon specified criteria. The selection is made based upon criteria required by the running functional processes and the nature and requirements of the requesting functional process. The present invention allows for these characteristics of the functional processes to be contained in the operation request, so that it is not necessary to obtain them from a common depository.
