This paper describes an evaluation of process modelling where the same distributed conference organizing process was modelled in three different process centred environments (PCEs) - Endeav ors, ProcessWeb, and our own CAGIS PCE. Endeavors is an activity based, flexible workflow system, ProcessWeb is a role based workflow system with a web-interface, whereas the CAGIS PCE combines an activity based workflow system with a software agent system. The goal of the evaluation was to investigate if a combination of a traditional workflow system and a software agent system is more suitable for modelling, changing and con figuring distributed cooperative processes than stand-alone work flow systems. As far as we know, there exist no similar studies for process centred environments.
