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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Globally Distributed Team Collaboration in Design and Development of Software(Ieee, 2013) Milewski, Allen E.; Serce, F. Cemile; Swigger, K.The goal of this study is to understand the dynamics of collaboration within globally-distributed teams working in a realistic Human-System Interaction design and software engineering context. Quantitative data on communications were collected by capturing virtually all of the communications between the team members. Qualitative data were collected through the interviews conducted by the instructors. The projects successfully ended in the software implementation of the front end of an Android app based on the Human-System Interaction design. The results reveal some of the challenges associated with working in interdisciplinary and global settings and suggest areas of caution for future such HSI educational experiences.
