Abstract :
Software development has become very complex in part due to its involvement of developers physically dispersed at various locations. Timely interaction of specialists from different fields and locations becomes essential. In this paper, we argue that the Internet and mobile agent technology can be effectively employed to support distributed software development. We present an agent based architecture model called the Agent Based Requirements EVolution (ABREV) system. A colored Petri Net (CPN) model for this architecture is being developed and hereby discussed
