Determining task priority in dual-shore collaborative software design via Petri Net based behavior compatibility analysis

A well arranged task priority in dual-shore collaborative software design phase will smooth the collaboration and reduces the potential coordination lag. However, it is really difficult to determine the priority when there are many collaboration tasks and the collaborative process is a little complicated. On the basis of behavior compatibility analysis using Petri-net, this paper proposed yet a new automatic method to determine the priority. The collaborative design is modeled in Petri-net and some algorithms are presented for the automatic priority determining.
