Procro is a theoretical framework for procedural coordination in distributed systems. The name blends process-oriented programming with cross-system orchestration. In educational and research contexts, procro is used to illustrate how complex workflows can be expressed as graphs of dependent tasks that span multiple execution environments.
An implementation concept includes a lightweight runtime that builds and executes directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of
History: Procro emerged in theoretical discussions around the 2010s; as a concrete project, several open-source prototypes
Comparison and relation: Procro parallels other orchestration and workflow systems such as Apache Airflow in workflow
