Abstract :
The paper describes the design and implementation of a process support system (PROSYT), which is intended to provide guidance in performing business processes and cooperation among people over a local or geographically distributed network. In particular it can be used as a process-centered software engineering environment (PSEE) to support distributed software development. Our main purpose is to describe how complex applications of this kind can be developed systematically. In particular, how the requirements of high flexibility, reconfigurability, scalability, and efficiency demanded by these applications can be met through appropriate design choices
