Abstract

This paper discusses similarities of computer support in three areas: development of software, supporting the flow of work/documents in an office and the production of goods in a flexible work cell. All three areas obey the same underlying principle, i.e. defining a process and then interpreting the process by an enactment (interpretation) mechanism. In the paper elementary questions with respect to the similarity are raised and tentative answers given. The conclusion is that the use of the same paradigm is valid, that considerable difference have to be considered in its implementation.
