A computational support to resolve the delay of communication in open source software development

本研究的目标是构建一个计算支持，以解决开源软件开发中的通信延迟问题。为了实现这一目标，本研究开发了一套方法来(1)检测开放源码项目中发生的通信延迟，(2)估计在时间t处能够与他人交流的开发人员，(3)可视化估计开发人员与他们所从事的任务之间的关系。结合该方法作为计算支持工具，对该工具进行了评估，证实了该工具的有效性。

The goal of the study is to construct a computational support to resolve the delay of communication in open source software development. In order to achieve the goal, this study developed a set of methods to(1) detect the delay of communication happened in an open source project,(2) estimate developers who are able to communicate with others at time t, and(3) visualize the relationship between the estimated developers and tasks they are engaging in. Integrating the method as a computational support tool, we evaluated the tool and confirmed the effectiveness of the tool.
