Lost and found in software space
Till Schümmer · 2005
Two problems often occur when implementing large software projects in a group: the problem of orientation and the problem of finding competent partners for tight cooperation. The paper presents a spatial representation of the shared source code under development called software space. It shows how awareness about another person's activities can be provided, which helps to find appropriate partners. Software space dynamically adapts to the user's preferences and thus improves during usage. The paper illustrates how the adapted representation can assist users in finding their way in software space.
