Engineering software engineering teams

Engineering software engineering teams

This paper presents novel ideas for understanding how software engineering teams communicate and coordinate. We utilize these ideas to understand how these teams should be constructed and what individuals and managers can do to ensure that teams perform at high levels. Our view is based on numerous observations and interactions with enterprise software engineering teams and influenced by economic models of information sharing. We propose that neither a fully top-down nor bottom-up approach is entirely suitable for teams; rather teams must be cognizant of this issue and work to embrace both models of information flow. This, in turn, can be facilitated by the role of intercessor who seeks to properly guide, direct, and curate both top-down and bottom-up information flows.

Abstract

The papers in this proceedings of USE-2008. From Information Provision to Knowledge Production conference held to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of Information Studies at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Oulu, Finland share a common perspective – the contributors seek to provide a multidisciplinary account of knowledge production in different contexts. The first keynote paper provides a detailed review of the issues facing managers and users of digital infrastructure who must balance the demands of data management with those of scientific publication. The second keynote contribution explores documentary practices and the materiality of science at the micro level focusing on interpersonal and transinstitutional acknowledgments.

The contributed papers that make up the rest of the volume address the conference theme from a range of viewpoints. The first four explore knowledge management in different contexts – the difficulties of converting industrial experience into formal knowledge systems; the motives and tradeoffs that are involved in online knowledge sharing; the generation of knowledge through strategic dialogue; and the harvesting of informal travel tips in FAQ sites. The fifth paper discusses the ‘readiness’ of government agencies in Namibia for electronic record keeping, and the sixth paper presents empirical observations on the daily media and information behaviour of senior citizens leading to concrete actions. The seventh contribution analyses citation as a discursive practice, using Dervin's work on sense-making as an example, and the last paper offers a deeper analysis than is usual in LIS of the knowing subject in the work of Descartes, making a distinction between philosophical and sociological interpretations. The authors' short CVs conclude this proceedings.
