We present a model for decentralized Process Centered Environments (PCEs), which support concerted efforts among geographically-dispersed teams -each local team with its own autonomous process -and emphasize flexibility in the tradeoff between collaboration vs. autonomy. We consider both decentralized process modeling and decentralized process enaction. We describe a realization in the OZ decentralized PCE, which eiriploys a rule-based formalism, and also anvestagate the application t o PCEs based on Petri-nets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
