Towards causal relation detection between activities in a software development scenario

On the Web, an increasing amount of information related to specific activities is scattered over various heterogeneous sources. In the domain of software development projects, where workflows are accompanied by different tools, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get an overview of the current situation, as decision and development processes are usually distributed among multiple sources. In this paper we present an approach for detecting causal relations between pieces of information scattered over different, heterogeneous sources.
