A process in which participants in different situations define in plural
epistemological spaces can be easily accommodated. An epistemological
space synthesizing part synthesizes different epistemological spaces to
generate a new epistemological space, thereby juxtaposing therein
business processes defined in each of the epistemological spaces. An
accommodated activity extraction part extracts a combinable activity from
the activities of the combined business process. A common resource
extraction part extracts a combinable resource (common resource) used or
produced by the extracted activity. A pre- and post-activity extraction
part extracts pre- and post-activities to be accommodated. A combined
business process generation part generates a business process which
automatically synthesizes combinable parts from the juxtaposed business
processes. An accommodating activity extraction selection part uses
information acquired by the accommodation information extraction part to
present an accommodating method. A user selects a suitable accommodating
activity.
