Esa Study Contract Report ESA STUDY CONTRACT REPORT ESA Contract No: Subject: Contractor: ESA ITT Number Current and Future Tech- Distributed Systems Group, AO/3-12280/07/NL/CB nologies for Collaborative Vienna University of Tech- Working Environments nology ESA CR() No: No of volumes: 1 Contractor’s Reference: This Volume No: 1 TEUN Abstract: This document reports the final, detailed result of the study on current and future technologies for collaborative working environments (CWEs). The goal of this study is to analyze current CWEs and whether they and their future trends are suitable for large- scale multinational organizations. To this end, we have analyzed the structure of large-scale organizations in general, and of ESA in particular, with respect to organization, geographical distribution, and IT environments. Requirements for CWEs used in collaborative work are presented. Based on an initial list of criteria given by ESA, we have revised and extended the list to introduce a comprehensive set of criteria for evaluating CWEs. The state-of-the- art CWEs are discussed and classified. We have selected 15 representative CWE products and evaluated and compared them in detail. From the evaluation and comparison of CWE products, we have presented our findings of current issues and future trends of CWEs. In particular, existing products provide many features required by large-scale and multinational organizations but those features are not well-integrated into a single system. Due to the complexity of collaborative work within those organizations, often many CWEs are used in parallel and it is not easy to integrate those CWEs together. The work described in this report was done under ESA Contract. Responsibility for the contents resides in the author or organisation that prepared it.

Various tools are available for users to conduct joint projects, regardless of the location and the organization of the users. For example, wikis1, SVN2, and document management systems3 allow different users to share and coedit documents, instant messaging4 and voice chat5 allow multiple users to converse online, just to name a few. With the support of existing Collaborative Working Environments (CWEs), many new con- cepts, such as virtual teams and communities, are introduced and realized today. Furthermore, the concept of user participation, such as collaborative blogs6 and collaborative tagging [13], sub-

  • How to Select a Suitable Tool for a Software Development Project
    HowtoSelect aSuitable Tool foraSoftwareDevelopment Project: Three Case Studies and the Lessons Learned Mark Kibanov, Dominik J. Erdmann, Martin Atzmueller Knowledge and Data Engineering Group, University of Kassel, Germany {kibanov, erdmann, atzmueller}@cs.uni-kassel.de Abstract: This paper describes aframework for evaluating and selecting suitable soft- ware tools for asoftware project, which is easily extendable depending on needs of the project. Foranevaluation, we applied the presented framework in three different projects. These projects use different software development methods (from classical models to Scrum) in different environments (industry and academia). We discuss our experiences and the lessons learned. 1Introduction With the growth of the software industry the number of software products (programs, tools, frameworks) with similar functions has also increased. Therefore, the process of selection of the required software has also become more complex. In this paper,weintroduce a general three-step framework for selecting suitable software for the current project and environment. Furthermore, we describe the application of the framework to three different software projects: These use different software development methods and environments. All three case studies showpromising results and indicate the possibility to apply the suggested framework for awide range of different projects. In these contexts, we discuss our experiences and the lessons learned. The rest of the paper is structured as follows: Section 2discusses related work. After that, Section 3presents the framework, its advantages, disadvantages and the three distinct steps of selecting the software tools. Section 4describes three case studies where we applied the framework and the results we obtained during these case studies. 2Related Work Starting in 1980 with [Saa80], Thomas L.

Williams Committee Members, Nancy M. Amato Jennifer L. Welch James B. Woolley Head of Department, Hank W. Walker May 2012 Major Subject: Computer Science iii ABSTRACT Efficient Algorithms for Comparing, Storing, and Sharing Large Collections of Evolutionary Trees. (May 2012) Suzanne Jude Matthews, B.S.; M.S., Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Tiffani L. Williams Evolutionary relationships between a group of organisms are commonly summarized in a phylogenetic (or evolutionary) tree. The goal of phylogenetic inference is to infer the best tree structure that represents the relationships between a group of organisms, given a set of observations (e.g. molecular sequences). However, popular heuristics for inferring phylogenies output tens to hundreds of thousands of equally weighted candidate trees. Biologists summarize these trees into a single structure called the consensus tree. The central assumption is that the information discarded has less value than the information retained. But, what if this assumption is not true? In this dissertation, we demonstrate the value of retaining and studying tree collections.
