Abstract :
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 employs a rule-based formalism, and also investigate the application to PCEs based on Petri-nets
