“…Horvath et al (2000) concluded that their results prove their fundamental hypothesis that the decision mechanisms behind design processes can be adequately represented in terms of predefined abstract activity patterns that can be easily represented by advanced Petri-net. Topic et al (2008) have explored improvements which can be achieved by applying Petri nets to the modelling, simulation and analysis of the software development process.…”

The aim of the presented research is to investigate possibilities of applying Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) modelling methodology for supporting design collaboration with a focus on iterative resolving of coupled sets of design parameters. Two case studies have been conducted aiming to build CPN based models and simulations for design development projects having several sets of not trivially coupled design parameters. Based on the results, it is concluded that CPN-based approach could bring several significant benefits comparing to common design support methods and tools.

“…In particular, several years of research have established PN as a powerful modeling formalism. Their formal semantics make them suitable for complex concurrent process description for software performance evaluation [26], [27], for system simulation [28], and for project modeling and simulation [29] in the field of communication networks [30] and several other fields.…”

Abstract-A Petri net (PN)-based approach to software synchronization in automatic measurement systems is proposed. Tasks are synchronized by means of a PN modeling an execution graph, where nodes represent tasks and arrows among nodes point out time succession among the corresponding tasks. This allows software synchronization to be abstracted above the code level by leaving the test engineer to work at a more intuitive level. As an experimental case study, the design, the implementation, and the application to a measurement scenario of the PN-based synchronizer inside the software framework for testing magnets at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are illustrated.

“…Finally, the duration and costs of product development in the projects are difficult to estimate (Gärtner et al, 2008). Detailed planning of realisation in complex software development processes is required in order to meet the specific requirements (Topic et al, 2008). Therefore, project managers need innovative models and methods to plan development projects (Gärtner et al, 2008).…”

In this research, a fusion of two methods is developed as a suitable strategy and procedure for dynamic management of complex project systems: the first method of multiple-domain matrix (MDM) includes modelling complex relations between resources and activities, using rearrangement of these elements to minimise feedbacks. The second method provides an insight into the project system dynamics by performing coloured Petri net (CPN) simulation based on the model of project system obtained by the first method. The focus is on the unique conversion of the MDM method to CPN, where the static system description of the MDM method was expanded by the capabilities of the dynamic system description of the CPN method. The objective was to evaluate an effective technique to analyse a complex project system of software development, which enables detailed planning and optimal management to shorten the production cycle of the appropriate quality with the lowest cost.
