An application of the Communication Disciplines of C. A. Petri to the analysis and design of a communication system

We consider the Communication Disciplines, introduced by Carl Adam Petri in the seventies, as a powerful tool for the analysis and design of communication processes. The general context in which we aim at applying them is decision-making in the European Union. Decision-making can be the output of very different communication and coordination processes: from regulated and loosely regulated processes like co- and self-regulation as defined by the European legislation to tight ordering of parliamentary debate in one direction to completely free information exchange in small groups of interest in the opposite direction. We present briefly the Communication Disciplines and use them as a tool for the analysis and design of a communication system for a specific process of information exchange in the field of critical infrastructure protection.
