The relationship between organization theory and distributed systems
is studied. By viewing distributed systems as analogous to human
organizations, concepts and theories germane to the management science
field of organization theory can be applied. Task complexity, uncertainty,
coupled with resource constraints are shown to be important factors
in deciding how a system is to be distributed.
