Abstract
A collaboration message is received at a computer system network node of a computer network that operates in a decentralized arrangement such that network nodes comprise work process sources and destinations, and the collaboration messages convey process state updates among the collaborators. There is no central authority though which all process messages and state updates must pass and which thereby may create a system bottleneck and limit system growth. The computer system is scalable and system operation remains efficient with increasing numbers of network nodes.
