Noobs these days'''Process architecture''' is the structural design of general process systems and applies to fields such as computers (software, hardware, networks, etc.), business processes (enterprise architecture, policy and procedures, logistics, project management, etc.), and any other process system of varying degrees of complexity.<ref name=parch>Dawis, E.

[[Process (philosophy)|Processes]] are defined as having inputs, outputs and the energy required to transform inputs to outputs. Use of energy during transformation also implies a passage of time: a process takes [[Real-time computing|real time]] to perform its associated action. A process also requires space for input/output objects and transforming objects to exist: a process uses real space.
