Role based cross-project collaboration in multiple distributed software design projects

While many collaboration methods have been suggested in distributed software development project, cross-project collaboration is still problematic. On the basis of the former research on the collaboration improvement in dual-shore software projects, the authors present a role base cross-project collaboration framework to enhance the collaboration in multiple software design projects. In this paper, the tasks and resource are defined and coupled by role concept. Role based view for the dynamic conjunction of the multiple projects has been proposed and role based resource arrangement method has been suggested. The prototype has been built and the feedback in the internal workshops turned to be good.
