Abstract
We present a process server component with extensible syntax and semantics. New process enactment directives can be added to the syntax of the process modeling language, which we deem a "process assembly language" because it supports translation from higher-level process formalisms for enactment by the "process virtual machine", or process engine. The process engine is parameterized by callbacks to instance-specific mediator code in order to implement any new directives and to modify the default enactment behavior. The mediator architecture also enables integration with a wide variety of existing environment architectures, including adding on process to an environment without such a facility, replacement of an existing process engine, and interoperability with an existing process system. Keywords: Component-based environment architectures, Interoperability, Multi-site environments, Petri nets, Process automation, Rules, Task graphs c fl1996, Gail E. Kaiser, Steven S. Popovic...
