This paper emphasises the importance of global teams in the field of software development. The paper presents an approach for setting up pilot studies simulating those key features that make global software development teams particularly attractive to exploit and challenging to manage. The underlying research is supported by a research project funded by the US National Science Foundation with the participation of universities from US, Turkey, Panama and the UK. The paper provides detailed guidelines for setting up simulations resembling globally dispersed software development teams and discusses preliminary data of two pilot studies with involving collaboration between teams residing in the US and the UK. Key concerns of this research are those factors affecting collaborative work when global teams are involved. Such factors include differences caused by distance, culture, time zones and technology.

Using data analytics for collaboration patterns in distributed software team simulations Dafoulas, Georgios A.; Serce, Fatma C.; SWİGGER, Kathleen; BRAZİLE, Robert; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Milewski, Allen (2016-08-05) This paper discusses how previous work on global software development learning teams is extended with the introduction of data analytics. The work is based on several years of studying student teams working in distributed software team simulations. The scope of this paper is twofold. First it demonstrates how data analytics can be used for the analysis of collaboration between members of distributed software teams. Second it describes the development of a dashboard to be used for the visualization of variou...
The challenges of teaching students how to work in global software teams Swigger, Kathleen; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Brazile, Robert; Dafoulas, Georges; Cabrera, Victor Lopez; Serçe, Fatma Cemile (IEEE; 2010-04-09) This paper describes a multi-year project that is examining ways to improve global software learning teams. Students from the University of North Texas, Middlesex, University of Atilim, Middle East Technical University, and Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá are teamed and asked to collaborate on a number of different software projects. The paper explains the overall goals for the research project; it describes the student teams and their various assignments; and it presents results from data gathered from t...
Interaction patterns among global software development learning teams SERÇE, fatma cemile; SWİGGER, kathleen; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; BRAZİLE, robert; DAFOULAS, georges; CABRERA, Victor Lopez (2009-05-22) This paper describes a study of the impact of communication behaviors on the performance of global software teams. Using a content analysis technique developed by [10], the researchers first characterized the asynchronous communications among student teams in Panama, Turkey and the US as they worked to complete a global software development project. Cluster analysis was then used to identify groups with similar communication patterns, which is defined as the proportion of time spent on each of the behaviors...
Analysis of graph and text representation techniques for news recommendation and news classification Ağrıman, Mustafa; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-2-07) Developments in computer science leads to increase in the use of software applications in all areas of life. This also causes an increase in data usage. Applications using textual data involves tasks such as finding similarities between texts, detecting events from texts, and classifying texts. However, using graphs and graph vectors can be more successful than textual methods of representing textual information, due to capability to express additional features and complex relationships in graph structure. ...
Agile Maturity Self-Assessment Surveys: A Case Study Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Demirörs, Onur (2017-09-01) Agile software development methodologies have been widely adopted by the software industry during the last decade. Agility assessment is an approach to measure the success of this adoption as well as to satisfy the further demands. In response, a number of agile maturity self-assessment surveys have been developed. However, software organizations do not widely utilize existing self-assessment surveys. In this study we aim to identify the existing surveys and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in agilit...
