Abstract

Awareness, the understanding of others' activities, has been widely accepted as a remedy to many collaboration difficulties in distributed organizations. Continuous Awareness (CA), a continuous support for integrated awareness information across space and time, aims to address the need of continuous awareness information in globally distributed software teams. This paper presents an comprehensive evaluation of a CA system, Team Radar, across multiple platforms. The result shows that Team Radar enables developers to receive continuous awareness information effectively and efficiently without the limitations of space and time. Our work provides insights into further exploration of awareness for distributed software development and the design and evaluation of similar tools.
