Summary:The Trellis model of human/computer interaction, in the context of
hypermedia documents, is a good basis for specifying and applying
software process models. The emphasis on user-direction of control
gained from the hypermedia paradigm makes Trellis models inherently less
program-like and more human-oriented. Trellis differs from other
hypermedia models by using parallel automata (colored timed Petri nets)
as hyperdocument structure (other models treat hyperdocuments as static
graphs). Trellis hyperdocuments are therefore naturally interpreted and
analyzed as process specifications. Our work has concentrated on using
the colored-tokens in the nets for control of collaborative activity
