<h2 class="western"><span lang="en-US">Introduction</span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span lang="en-US">Understanding human activities is essential for designing and evaluating interactive systems. Models of tasks and activities help to make explicit the assumptions
that not only influence the shaping of the system under design, but also guide the overall development process.
</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span lang="en-US">The International Journal of People-Oriented Programming (IJPOP) encourages submissions of papers for a special issue on “Modeling Human Activities”, which
contribute to the theoretical foundations of activity models and/or their application in the context of software development. Case studies and experience reports are also welcome.</span></font></p>
