• Quanta defines protocols and programming interfaces for managing synchronized executions of distributed processes.

• Quanta engine is based on Petri network's theory.

QUANTA QUANTUM

• A quantum (token in petri net) is a piece of data that triggers the execution of a node
• A quantum wraps an input/output type of data

QUANTA SYSTEM/NETWORK

• A Quanta system is a network (petri net)
• A system is set of interconnected nodes (places in petri net)

QUANTA NODE

• A node is a separated process responsible for the execution of a piece of code.
• A node is a stateless code that operates on a quantum.
• A node receive in input a quantum, executes its specific function on it and produce a quantum in output.
• Receiving a quantum triggers the execution of that node.
• A node use network sockets for receiving/sending quanta

QUANTA ENGINE

• Manages the registration of all the nodes in the networks
• Manages the configuration of the network
• Manages the execution of the network
