{{Short description|Computer system for maintaining order among running programs}}
{{OS}}
A act of '''process management''' is a program in execution, and an integral part of any modern-day [[operating system]] (OS). The OS must allocate resources to [[process (computing)|processes]], enable processes to share and exchange information, protect the resources of each process from other processes and enable synchronization among processes. To meet these requirements, the OS must maintain a [[data structure]] for each process, which describes the state and resource ownership of that process, and which enables the OS to exert control over each process.▼
