Overview of Ariadne

These slides describe Ariadne, an awareness plug-in for the Eclipse Development Environment. Ariadne analyzes software development projects for technical dependencies and collects authorship information from their associated configuration management repositories. The tool then links technical dependencies and authorship information to infer social dependencies among developers. In the context of continuous coordination, we imagine two diferent users of the tool: managers and developers. Managers might use Ariadne for overseeing software projects, coordinating meetings between developers who share similar dependencies and analyzing how developers' roles in a project evolve over time. Developers might also use the tool to find other developers whose code overlaps with their own, to find experts on particular code modules, or to calculate how the impact of developers' work on their own.
