The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The general concept of a ""process"" has become increasingly important both as a tool for gaining an understanding of complex computer systems, and as a basis for organizing their design. This has occured despite the lack of general agreement on a definition of the concept. The present paper provides a framework for the definition and extended discussion of processes and techniques for structuring them. It uses the concept to unify a variety of hardware ans software tools and methodologies.
