This paper describes Ariadne, a Java tool for the Eclipse IDE, that links technical and social dependencies. Ariadne is based on the observation that technical dependencies among software components create social dependencies among the software developers implementing these components. We describe our approach for creating technical, socio-technical and social dependencies from a software project. We describe possible uses of our approach and tool as well as discuss briefly related work. 1.
