The invention relates to the organization of network-wide applications to indicate a possible way by which future requirements of decentralized control systems connected together via a network can be implemented simply and cost-efficiently with high efficiency. A system and a computer program which, in order to provide consistent support to the organization of a process having at least one processing device for carrying out predefinable subprocesses, permit subprocess-specific process structure information to be registered and stored on the basis of the process to be organized in such a way that said information can be used on the basis of predefinable subprocesses or on the basis of a respective organization phase.
