We propose an approach to the analysis and design of software production processes that is based on a new paradigm which we coin ‘PETAN’. It is a blend of concepts from Petri nets theory and activity nets theory. The paper reviews the relevant concepts from activity nets and demonstrates the applicability of the new paradigm by a sample implementation to real life software production processes through simulation using SLAM II language.
