Abstract(in English) In order to enact a whole software process description,it is necessary to specify not only the contents of activities of the software process and their temporal ordering but also the communications among the engineers to synchronize or to exchange data values.However,it is very complicated for the designers to describe them correctly.In this paper,we have described only the whole description of the standard process modelling examaple problem(Kellner's example problem),where only the contents of activities of the software process and temporal ordering of the activities are specified,in an extended Petri net model with a finit number of registers which can treat data values.We have also derived each engineer's individual description including the communications among the engineers automatically from the whole description and a distributed allocation of the files and documents neceessary for the software development,using the derivation algorithm which we have already proposed.Since the derived individual descriptions are also described in the same model,each engineer can understand his, her own working flows(including parallel actions).In our research,it has shown that in our proposed model,the software processes can be described, and that we can derive the individual descriptions which can be carried out at a distributed control.The usefulness of our approach is also shown in this example.
