Abstract

Distributed computing is becoming increasingly important in our daily life. This is because it enables the people who use it to share information more rapidly and increases their productivity. A major characteristic feature or distributed computing is the explicit representation of process logic within a communication system, which allows for computerized support. This paper presents a model of distributed computing system and applies the concepts of Petri nets in modelling workflow in this domain using e- purchase as a case study. Petri nets are an established tool for modelling and analyzing processes.
