Abstract-The programmable network approach allows processing of passing user data in a network, which is highly suitable especially for multimedia streams processing. However, programming of complex stream processing applications for programmable nodes is not effortless since they usually do not provide sufficient flexibility (both programming flexibility and execution environment flexibility). In this paper we present the programmable network node architecture named DiProNN that is able to accept and run user-supplied programs and/or virtual machines and process them over passing data. All the DiProNN programs are described using our modular programming model based on the workflow principles that takes advantages of DiProNN virtualization and makes programming of complex streaming applications easier. As a possible application we show a sketch implementation of simple MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) used for large videoconferences that profits from DiProNN properties.

Future institutions and enterprises, called virtual organizations are formed by society as entirely decentralized and distributed organizations. In virtual organizations, new forms of intellectual human cooperation smooth traditional competition. The place of traditional hierarchy is replaced by cooperation coordination. Cooperation economy in virtual organizations going out of their framework, conditioned by factors of the society organization as integrity, becomes a modification of economy of societal integrity, so-called new entity economy. The personality of human work as well as work organization is changing. The work and people's interdependence problems and human work organization depend on virtual cooperation in real-time and a communication environment of storing and exchanging resources and coordination of documents' circle. The organization of human cooperation is comprised of two factors: first, a computer and information factor that promotes the creation and improvement of information resources, synthesis of processing methods, and information environment helping team-work; second, a communication and organizational factor that incorporates the problems of the synthesis of storing structures, computer information exchange, and interactive direct communication.

“…However, most workflow management systems, both products and research prototypes, are rather monolithic and aim at providing full fledged support for the widest possible application spectrum [ 1, 7,9,11,20,37]. On the other hand, the idea of extensible and adaptable system architectures is not new.…”
