Software process technology emerged as an identifiedresearch and development activity in the early 1980s. Sincethen, several international workshops and conferences havecontributed to the creation of an international communitywith a common understanding of the concepts involved.Numerous prototypes and tools are now appearing to supportthesoftware process life cycle. The first European Workshopon Software ProcessTechnology was held in 1991, which ledamong other things to the creation ofan ESPRIT workinggroup. EWSPT '92 is the first event of this working group.This volume presents the proceedings of EWSPT '92. Thepapers areorganized into sections on:- Concepts and reference frameworks,- Humanand social aspects in process modelling,- Process engines and enactment mechanisms,- Models,- Process lifecycle.
