Abstract. Global Software Development (GSD) is an emerging distributive software engineering practice, in which a higher communication overhead due to temporal and geographical separation among developers is traded with gains in reduced development cost, improved flexibility and mobility for developers, increased access to skilled resource-pools and convenience of customer involvements. However, due to its distributive nature, GSD faces many fresh challenges in aspects relating to project coordination, awareness, collaborative coding and effective communication. New software engineering methodologies and processes are required to address these issues. Research has shown that, with adequate support tools, Distributed Extreme Programming (DXP) -a distributive variant of an agile methodology -Extreme Programming (XP) can be both efficient and beneficial to GDS projects. In this paper, we present the design and realization of a collaborative environment, called "Moomba", which assists a distributed team in both instantiation and execution of a DXP process in GSD projects.

Group awareness can be defined as an understanding of the activities of others, which provides a context for your own activity [48].…”

It is apparent that the development or implementation of a collaborative product development management (CPDM) system in an enterprise should be based on the right understanding of core domain objects, their main attributes, and their relationships to other objects in the product development domain. For this purpose, an object-oriented conceptual model of a CPDM system based on a top-down approach is presented in this paper. For building the conceptual model systematically, this paper proposes the 4P2C modeling views, which are multifaceted views of engineering information that provides an integrated and consistent perspective on engineering information. The 4P2C stands for product, process, project, participant, cost, and collaboration. Based on the 4P2C modeling views, six submodels are constructed that eventually constitute a complete conceptual CPDM model. In each sub-model, the decomposition of core domain objects, their main attributes, and their relationships to other objects are represented in detail. A prototype application program along with an illustrative cost calculation example is also presented to demonstrate that the proposed CPDM model will enable enterprises to maintain consistency in product data efficiently throughout the product life cycle.

“…This approach has a main drawback because it requires a detailed and a nticipated model of the underlying process that is impossible to obtain from CVGW teams, because they conform a heterogeneous environment and do not follow strictly a sta ndard procedure but act according to their needs and team evolution [24].…”

Abstract. Collaborative Virtual Work Groups (CVWG) are small groups of people that perform tasks, share responsibilities, goals and decisions but are distanced in terms of space, time and cultures, and maintain their connections through technology. Collaborative S ystems support them enabling a shared environment and informing of its state and changes through a mechanism called Awareness. In this paper we argue that these changes and their consequences can be understood in an ontological work context (we call it "se mantic awareness"). This approach allows us to infer the relevance of the awareness info rmation and control its delivery. To do so, we determine a user context (location, device, preferences), which allows us to infer the user willingness to be exposed to this information. The mechanism is enabled through a Multi -Agent System (MAS), where an agency represents each user's perception and actual context. We also present a case study and discuss the obtained results.
