Tagging and Emergent Value in Jazz

Primary researcher: Christoph Treude

Partners: IBM Centers for Advanced Studies

Blog: http://ctreude.wordpress.com/

In this research project, we are examining how software developers communicate and collaborate. In this context, we are looking at new software development environments such as IBM's Jazz. In particular, we are investigating Web 2.0 mechanisms such as tags, dashboards, feeds and blogs. We are studying why and how developers use these tools to support their work. Based on these insights, we hope to formulate hypotheses on how tool support can be improved.
