INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROVIDING MEDIUM

The invention provides an information processing apparatus and method and a providing medium by which editing of a prototype can be performed readily. When a prototype is defined using some of nodes of a current scope, if the current scope includes a node which should be routed to the prototype, then an editing tool adds an interface as a field for inputting or outputting an event therethrough to the prototype, and routes between the node and the prototype through the thus added interface.
