Abstract

The paper describes how human/tool and human/human interactions are supported in the SynerVision for SoftBench process enactment tool from Hewlett-Packard. The scope is not limited to enactment time, due to a feature of SynerVision which allows process enactors to simultaneously be process designers. Questions that are touched on briefly include: what is the relationship between humans and the framework? How are humans and tools modeled in the software process? What does the formalism allow one to specify (roles, goals, other)? How should humans be handled or supported in the process? How are interactions modeled in the software process?
