“…Groupware systems are typically studied in the interdisciplinary field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work, where research has primarily been conducted into understanding how people work together using these collaborative systems and how they interact with them [19,20]. Within industry, groupware solutions, such as Salesforce Chatter, Yammer and Basecamp are predominately offered as one-off packages or as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, which may be deployed across various business functions within an organisation or supply chain; these solutions often share common web 2.0 functionality (see Table I), which allows employees within an organisation to better communicate, collaborate and share information and knowledge with dispersed and co-located colleagues.…”

Abstract-Employee collaboration and knowledge sharing is vital for manufacturing organisations wishing to be successful in an ever-changing global market place; Product Development (PD) teams, in particular, rely heavily on these activities to generate innovative designs and enhancements to existing product ranges. To this end, the purpose of this paper is to present the results of a validation study carried out during an Engineering Education Scheme project to confirm the benefits of using bespoke Web 2.0-based groupware to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing between dispersed PD teams. The results of a cross-sectional survey concluded that employees would welcome greater usage of social computing technologies. The study confirmed that groupware offers the potential to deliver a more effective collaborative and knowledge sharing environment with additional communication channels on offer. Furthermore, a series of recommended guidelines are presented to show how PD teams, operating in globallydispersed organisations, may use Web 2.0 tools to improve employee collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Abstract-Governance rules in software development projects help to prioritize and manage their development tasks, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the project by clarifying how core and external contributors should collaborate in order to advance the project during its whole lifespan. Despite their importance, specially in Open Source Software (OSS) projects, these rules are usually implicit or scattered in the project documentation/tools (e.g., tracking-systems or forums), hampering the correct understanding of the development process. We propose to enable the explicit definition and enforcement of governance rules for OSS projects. We believe this brings several important benefits, including improvements in the transparency of the process, its traceability and the semi-automation of the governance itself. Our approach has been implemented on top of Mylyn, a project-management Eclipse plug-in supporting most popular tracking-systems.

“…Researches in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) applied to software development are widespread. Several studies have already been developed (Cook and Chumber, 2005;Teruel et al, 2012;Jiang et al, 2006;Duque et al, 2012). However, most of this work focuses two aspects: (1) improvements to the infrastructure to support distributed development (integrated environments or groupware) and (2) encourage the communication among participants of the collaborative project, aimed at large teams of software development.…”

Comente+: A Tool for Improving Source Code Documentation Using Information Retrieval

Document source code is seen as a boring time consuming task by several developers. However, a welldocumented source code, allow developers to have a better visibility into what was and is being developed, helping, for example, the reuse of the code. This study presents a semi-automatic method for documentation of source code from the existing artifacts in a software project under development. The method aims to reduce developer's workload, allowing them to work on other tasks of the project and/or ensure that the project deadlines will be met. The method, implemented in a tool, called Comente+, is capable of creating or updating comments into a source code from gathered information recovered from the project artifacts. To implement Comente+, we used an information retrieval approach. We performed some experiments with real data to validate this approach. For that, we created a special measure that estimates how well documented a source code is.
