'''Process architecture''' is the structural design of general process systems. andIt 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. P., J. F. Dawis, Wei-Pin Koo (2001). Architecture of Computer-based Systems using Dualistic Petri Nets.

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.

Line 10:

Process systems are a dualistic phenomenon of change/no-change or form/transform and as such, are

well-suited to being modeled by the bipartite [[Petri Netsnets]] modeling system and in particular, process-class [[dualistic Petri nets]] where processes can be simulated in real time and space and studied hierarchically.
