Abstract
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.Keywords
