Continous Coordination Projects

Those are some of the projects being developed in our group. For more information, refer to their respective web sites.

ActivityViewer

The Workspace Activity viewer is a 3D visualization that presents a high-level overview of the amount of parallel ongoing work in an entire project to provide insight into project level coordination concerns. The tool additionally provides a movie-like capability to retroactively study projects by replaying past events.

LightHouse
Lighthouse is a coordination platform that is rooted in the concept of emerging design, a real-time representation of the design as it is being implemented in the code by each of the programmers. To help locate coordination problems as early as possible, Lighthouse projects this emerging design view on top of the initially conceived conceptual design and annotates it with coordination information.

Ariadne
Ariadne is a collaborative software engineering tool that aims to enhance developers' awareness of the social dependencies present in their work by seamlessly integrating visualization of technical and social dependencies within development activities. Shown is a social call graph illustrating code dependencies and author dependencies.

SketchBasedArgo
Sketch-based Argo/UML adapts Argo/UML, a well-known open-source design editor, to an interactive electronic whiteboard environment. It uses pen-based gesture recognition instead of the usual mouse and keyboard to support rapid, interactive design creation and modification.

VBoard
VBoard provides a whiteboard- like interface for freehand design along with several widgets that encourage rapid exploration and consideration of alternatives. Features include a concern-centric interface, single gesture direct manipulation, mind-buckets, intuitive grouping, and visual comparison tools.

WorldView
World View provides a comprehensive view of team dynamics in geographically distributed projects. Through a world map metaphor, it shows the geographical location of teams, the time zones in which they operate, dependencies among teams, and contact information. World View is intended to help developers identify relevant global and local team members, potential problematic interactions among sub-groups and teams, and provide an overall view of project status to management.
