  • Abstract
    The idea of understanding software processes and software teams as social processes is developed. This theory is based on the idea that it is crucial to understand the ways in which human actors interact with each other in software processes. The use of FUNSOFT nets, a Petri net language whose semantics is defined in terms of predicate/transition nets, which may be used to model substantial features of activities determined by human cooperation, is discussed
