....INTRODUCTION In researching distributed software engineering, we have taken the approach of learning by doing. We have taught several distributed project courses in which teams located in Pittsburgh, PA and in Munich, Germany collaborated on developing a system for a single industrial client [2, 9]. We have observed that the most critical issues related to distribution are actually not technical, but social: Participants not knowing each other resulted in low awareness of each site and little daily collaboration. Lack of daily collaboration made it more di#cult to accurately ....
....initiate conversations about impending crises. We are researching comprehensive solutions for supporting collaboration in distributed software engineering projects, including supporting informal meetings [1] capturing and maintaining rationale [10] and the travel of small groups of developers [9]. In this paper, we focus on group awareness. We propose to adapt and generalize the results from the awareness and design rationale communities to global software engineering. We see three critical issues when defining an awareness system: 1. Monitoring activities. Information about activities ....

....software engineering, we have taken the approach of learning by doing. We have taught several global software engineering (Global S E ) project courses in which teams of students located in Pittsburgh, PA and in Munich, Germany collaborated on developing a system for a single industrial client [1, 3]. We follow a sawtooth process in which developers present a sequence of incrementally more refined prototypes to the client and to project management, so that the scope and the direction of the project can be refined at regular intervals. Distributed reviews are done using a combination of video ....
