Abstract
Our concern is with the modern software production environment and, as mentioned in Section 1.7 we can focus our interest by exploring the distinction between a process being carried out in the real-world, and a model of that process. These two facets are:
-
a real-world production process (P) including human participants or actors, CASE tools, etc. which encompass all activities needed to produce software products, and
-
a software process model (PM) which is a representation of the real-world activities for guiding, enforcing or automating parts of that production process.
