Supporting Web Collaboration for Cooperative Software Development

With the rapid growth of web technology, more and more software development projects use web collaborations to facilitate the development process. However, web collaboration activity is a complex orchestration. It involves many people work together without the barrier of time and space difference. Therefore, how to efficiently monitor and control web collaboration activity becomes a critical issue in a web-based collaborative software development project. In this paper, we present a novel approach to tackle this difficult problem by means of monitoring collaboration task progress. In addition, we also provide solutions to automate the dynamic control of cooperation, thus to improve the web collaboration performance.
