Abstract
This paper discusses the features and characteristics of an environment to design, analyse and enact software process models, which is being developed at CEFRIEL and Politecnico di Milano. The environment is called SPADE and is centered on a language, SLANG (Spade LANGuage) based on high level Petri nets (ER nets). The main focus of this presentation concerns the features of SLANG and the characteristics of its interpreter that make it possible to obtain an efficient, concurrent execution (“enactment”) of a process model specified in SLANG.
