Method	addRootProcess
Description	Adds a root process.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`processId`	the `Id` of a process

	NULL_ARGUMENT		`processId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	removeRootProcess
Description	Removes a root process.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`processId`	the `Id` of a process
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`processId` is not a root
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`processId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	addChildProcess
Description	Adds a child to a process.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`processId`	the `Id` of a process
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`childId`	the `Id` of the new child
