We present the status of the automation of NLO processes within the event
generator WHIZARD. The program provides an automated FKS subtraction and phase
space integration over the FKS regions, while the (QCD) NLO matrix element is
accessed via the Binoth Les Houches Interface from an externally linked
one-loop program. Massless and massive test cases and validation are shown for
several e+e- processes. Furthermore, we discuss work in progress and future
plans. The second part covers the matching of the NRQCD prediction with NLL
threshold resummation to the NLO continuum top pair production at lepton
colliders. Both the S-wave and P-wave production of the top pair are taken into
account in the resummation. The inclusion in WHIZARD allows to study more
exclusive observables than just the total cross section and automatically
accounts for important electroweak and relativistic corrections in the
threshold region.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, Talk given at 12th International Symposium on
