Next-to-leading logarithmic final-state resummed predictions havetraditionally been calculated, manually, separately for each observable. Inthis article we derive NLL resummed results for generic observables. Wehighlight and discuss the conditions that the observable should satisfy for theapproach to be valid, in particular continuous globalness and recursiveinfrared and collinear safety. The resulting resummation formula is expressedin terms of certain well-defined characteristics of the observable. We havewritten a computer program, CAESAR, which, given a subroutine for an arbitraryobservable, determines those characteristics, enabling full automation of alarge class of final-state resummations, in a range of processes.
