The IPC enables one process to plan or instantiate another existing process
Asynchronous: The parent process instantiates the child, passes data to the child and proceeds with the next activity
Child: The process being planned by a parent process
Parent: The process planning the child process
Plan / Planning: The process of instantiating an existing process by using administrative tools or the IPC wizard
Recursive call: The parent process is called as the child
Synchronous: The parent process instantiates the child, passes data to the child and then waits for the child to return data
