Process Description Languages and Workflow

[Stephen Guerin]

Has anyone researched appropriate "process description languages" for ABM
fieldwork? Something that business analysts/ethnographers can use in the
field to describe workflow.

On the formal side, there' s something called the Pi-calculus.

Just for the hell of it, at Bios Bennett Levitan and I played with "lego
world", with the idea of developing a general theory of constructability,
including robust constructability is different senses, that it might be fun
to talk about. No formal language was a part of our ideas. Happy
