Team Knowledge and Coordination in Geographically Distributed Software Development
Coordinating software tasks across geographic locations is difficult because of factors like: limited opportunities for interaction, lack of contextual references, and leaner communication media. Team cognition research suggests that team knowledge helps members coordinate because they can anticipate task issues more accurately, communicate more efficiently and find expertise within the team, a...
متن کاملFamiliarity, Complexity, and Team Performance in Geographically Distributed Software Development
While prior research has found that familiarity is beneficial to team performance, it is not clear whether different kinds of familiarity are more or less beneficial when the work has different types of complexity. In this paper, we theorize how task and team familiarity interact with task and team coordination complexity to influence team performance. We posit that task familiarity is more ben...
متن کاملGeographically Distributed Software Development
Geographically distributed software development holds much promise for increasing market penetration and speeding up development cycles. However, it also comes with a set of new challenges for those developing the software, bought about by the distance among colleagues. This paper outlines a new research project underway to explore those issues and their implications for organizing g eographica...
متن کاملEffects of Team Size on Participation, Awareness, and Technology Choice in Geographically Distributed Teams
In this paper we investigate the effects that team size has on geographically distributed teams within a large, multi-national manufacturing organization. Survey responses from 109 members of distributed teams indicate that compared to members of larger teams, members of smaller teams participated more actively on their team, were more committed to their team, were more aware of the goals of th...

In this paper we propose a formal model of coordination in Multi-Agent Systems. Wooldridge and Jennings [15] restrict their approach to Cooperative Problem Solving cases insisting in a team-formation stage in which agents commit themselves to act as a group to achieve a common goal before negotiation starts. In our model, autonomous agents first recognise how they depend on each other (they may...
