== Creation of process handlers ==
The main interfaces are `BASE_PROCESS_FACTORY` and `BASE_PROCESS`. The factory helps to instantiate a `BASE_PROCESS` object, which is the execution controller. The `BASE_PROCESS` object is used to configure the execution, to launch the execution, and check for the termination. It could also terminate the execution if wanted.
The factory interface provides 2 useful functions creating a `BASE_PROCESS` object:
