Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 9Exploring the Communication Behaviour Among Global Software Development Learners(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2011) Serce, Fatma Cemile; Swigger, Kathleen M.; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Brazile, Robert; Dafoulas, George; Lopez-Cabrera, VictorThis study examines communication behaviours in global software learning teams. Using a coding scheme developed in previous research (Curtis and Lawson, 2001), the paper characterises communication behaviours of students engaged in a software development project. The paper reports the results of two pilot projects done with students in USA, England, Turkey and Panama. Through content analysis we identify distinct patterns of interactions and examine how these patterns are associated with task, culture, or performance. Our results suggest that communication patterns among global software learners may be related to task type, culture and levels of performance.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Using Data Analytics for Collaboration Patterns in Distributed Software Team Simulations(Ieee, 2016) Dafoulas, Georgios A.; Serçe, Fatma Cemile; Serce, Fatma C.; Swigger, Kathleen; Brazile, Robert; Alpaslan, Ferda N.; Lopez, Victor; Milewski, Allen; Serçe, Fatma Cemile; Information Systems Engineering; Information Systems EngineeringThis 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 various types of information in relation to Global Software Development (GSD). Due to the nature of this work, and the need for continuous pilot studies, simulations of distributed software teams have been created with the participation of learners from a number of institutions. This paper discusses two pilot studies with the participation of six institutions from two different countries.
