SoftwareProcess
A SoftwareProcess is a single instance of a running program defined by a workspace of
memory resources and environmental settings that are allocated to it. A user of the
operating system will typically see a software process as an application or a
task.
A software process may be composed of
multiple threads, all of which run within the same workspace. A software service (see
“SoftwareService”) may be composed of one or more software processes.
