%0 Journal Article %T Productivity Equation and the m Distributions of Information Processing in Workflows %J Applied System Innovation | An Open Access Journal from MDPI %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/asi2030024 %X This research proposes and investigates an equation for productivity in hybrid workflows regarding its robustness towards the definition of workflows as a hybrid probabilistic systems. The proposed equation and its derivations were formulated through a theoretical framework about information theory, probabilities and complex adaptive systems. By defining a productivity equation for organism-machine-environment interactions, discrete and continuous variables that constitute the systems can be controlled by a mathematical framework where prediction and monitoring aspects of optimization are possible without the limitation of strict empirical methods.
