Not exactly. It's true that a Process represents the running state of the application, and that both of them can read memory (process always reads live memory while a target can optionally return data from the object file), but that's pretty much where the similarities end. Process' methods generally concern the running of the application, so you have things that deal with stdio, signals, threads, etc. OTOH, a target works with the object files, and the debug info contained therein (breakpoints, modules, symbols, ...).
