Abstract

This paper focus on the relationship between projects that have same participants. A definition of projects collaborative relationship has been presented, and a projects collaborative network model is constructed. By mining and analyzing more than 10000 projects from sourceforge.net, we find that the projects collaborative relationship of software has a great impact on software trustworthiness. The number of project´s collaborative project and the proportion of project´s participants, who also join in other projects, are mostly important factors of projects collaborative network.
