systems technology increase the advantages of developing an increasingly complex distributed processing capacity. Distributed processing networks (DPNs) are expected to evolve gradually from centralized systems into more complex configurations.
The introduction of major changes in organizational structure, such as those precipitated by mergers or acquisitions, also require rapid changes to the DPN. This paper describes four distributed processing configurations.
It then presents a case: the evolution of the DPN in a large corporate bank and holding company. This case illustrates configuration changes over the life cycle of the DPN of the bank and provides insight into the process of planning for DPN change. A tendency to return toward centralization is noted in this case; this may cause practitioners to rethink their own DPN growth plans.

This paper is concerned with the applicability of network theory to those aspects of distributed/parallel processing that can be modeled by marked graphs. First, several examples are given to illustrate that a wide variety of computation schemes can be modeled by marked graphs. Subsequently, the fol
