An Extensible Service for Experts Recommendation on Distributed Software Development Projects

摘要

A common challenge in Distributed software development (DSD) is the identification and ranking of experts that can provide help to team members on their tasks. This paper presents a survey conducted with distributed software developers to identify a set of requirements to improve collaboration among team members by providing experts location features. We submit an architecture that was proposed based on the survey results. Therefore, the developed architecture enables the addition of new mining and ranking methods in one search engine, also enabling the use of different ways to present the ranking.
