Abstract:

An activity coordination system helps its users describe, guide, and monitor processes in which they are involved. The activity coordination system described here is based on a formalism suited to the modular description of complex distributed activities. An activity, once described, may be executed as a distributed computation, organizing the interaction of the activity's participants. The system supports activities that last a long time, allows them to be examined as they execute, and may be extended to provide for new types of activities.
